 * Hello,
 * First off, fantastic plugin!
 * I am in the need us connecting to a database that is not my default WP database
   within Data Projects. I’ve created a new project, and added a new page. I can
   see all of the WP tables in the Table Name field, but I don’t see an area to 
   switch to a different database as I can see in the Data Explorer and Data Publisher
   screens.
 * Any thoughts on how to do this? Much appreciated.

 * Hi Chris,
 * Good to hear you like the plugin!
 * You cannot yet connect to a non WP database from Data Projects. It is already
   available in the Data Explorer and the Data Publisher, but I still need to do
   implement it for Data Projects and the Data Designer. It is on my to do list.
 * I will leave this topic open and send you a reply when it is done. No promise,
   but I hope to add it this month.
 * Best regards,
    Peter

 * Hi Chris,
 * I released the new version which supports using non WP databases in Data Projects
   as well. Keep in mind however, that the database must run in the same instance
   as the WP database. Remote databases (on external ip or other port) are not yet
   supported. I’m working on that as well, but that needs a bit more time… 😉
 * Best regards,
    Peter
