Need to search/read some data(basically a search form which will result records) from a database other than drupal one.And display it inside drupal.

Will following be enough ?

http://drupal.org/node/18429 (db_set_active)

I'm not sure how well that works, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in. But the Table Wizard (drupal.org/project/tw) module might help you out depending on your exact situation.

Thanks for quick input.

Quote from tw project page: "It allows surfacing any table in the Drupal default database through Views 2."

Wherein our requirement is to interact with totally different mysql database than drupal's default one.
