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. The module exposes any tables in your database to views, which might make implementing your solution a lot easier.

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.

Review the comments in settings.php and see http://api.drupal.org/api/function/db_set_active for a function to change between DB.
