Connect to another database as secondary data source?

Frappe Framework Customization

Hi all,

I would like to ask two questions about frappe.

  1. Can frappe connect to another database as secondary data source? In that case, another data source is from another application and frappe needs to read those data.

  2. Can frape can access database tables without creation docType for them? In that case, there are existing tables in database and frappe needs to access them.

Thanks to all.

Hi @zither:

Consider using virtual doctypes

Check this:

Hope this helps.
