 * Hello Akmeeran,
 * Changing Database configuration using this Plugin will force WordPress installation
   to use another Database. It affects the whole site.
 * Example: if you’ve two WordPress sites and need to switch WordPress #1 to connect
   to Database #2 and WordPress #2 to connect to Database #1
 * The database you’re talking about is belong to another Software and this need
   some kind of custom integration
 * The answer is: No, this Plugin won’t do that
 * Thanks,
    AHMeD
