You would have to write a views
integration module to do this (expose the data) to your module. Normally I’d
point you to the views 3 api documentation, but that doesn’t appear to
have been written yet. If you’re interested in this approach you might
try filing a support request asking how different the views 3 api is from the
views 2 api which is documented.
You might also take a look at project forena,
which is written as a more general report writing engine.
FULL DISCLOSURE:
I’m the maintainer of the forena module.

Subject: [support] Accessing non-drupal
tables with Views?
Hi,
I have a Drupal7 site that shares a database with another application..
I would like to use views to publish data from the applications tables to
users..
Anyone have any ideas how to do this??
I have searched the internet but not found anything.. Certainly nothing
for D7..
