 * Hi all!
 * I am interested to know if something like this is feasible in WordPress.
 * I would like to create posts automatically with information stored in non-wordpress
   database. The database has a table called Library which is like this:
 * book_title | author | book_description | publisher
 * I am not interested in doing it through any type of eCommerce plugin. I want 
   to have let’s say 20 books per post, pulled from the database, all being done
   programmatically, not manually. Is this going to be achieved somehow?
 * Thanks!

 * Yes it is possible, WordPress has built in functionality to interact with non
   WordPress database using its wpdb class. You can read more here: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/)
 * For example, create a new class then run your query:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $librarydb = new wpdb( 'user', 'password', 'database', 'hostname' );
   
       $librarydb ->get_results("SELECT yourQueryGoesHere"); 
       ```
