 * Hi
 * I have an wordpress installation and looking if there is a plugin of some sort
   so I can read some tables from an external database. I have the IP adresse, instancename,
   user/pass. I can read data directly to excel for instance, but would love to 
   present the data on a wordpress page.
 * Any ideas?

 * Make sure the external MySQL server allows remote access.
