 * This is more of a can I do it question.
 * Is it possible to have pretty permalinks when accessing a second MySQL databases?
 * Scenario: I will have a “search form” which will be sending a key using GET to
   page template that will be populated by information a second database based on
   the key. I want to be able to use WP_Rewrite to turn the full query string (including
   the key sent to the second database) into a pretty permalink that can be directly
   accessed.
 * In other words the end result should be permalinks that look like: mywp.com/cities/
   syracuse
 * Cities is the name of the page and Syracuse defines the information from the 
   database that is being accessed.
 * At my disposal so far I have the WP_Rewrite and code to access the second database(
   [http://bavotasan.com/2011/access-another-database-in-wordpress/](http://bavotasan.com/2011/access-another-database-in-wordpress/)),
   should I be aware of anything else?
