    Hello,

    I think I already know the answer to my question but need to confirm before I go down another road.

    I am using Connections until I build my DB application where I will list some information like I do with Connections. Ideally I would like to continue to use Connections and point it to my external DB. However, I doubt this easily possible since Connections programming points to the WP db for everything. I hope I am thinking incorrectly and that it could be done without too much trouble, at least I am hoping but I really doubt it.

    If someone from Connections could let me know if it would be easy to configure Connections to an external DB or not I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    Sorry, no, I do not think it possible to connect to an extensional DB. A more likely possibility would be to use the REST API. It’s not complete but, depending on your needs, could be good enough.
