Retrieving data from an external database

Permalink
So we are building a site that will let clients insert an image or text block, but we need them to be able to pull that image or text from a database on our server. At this point I think we need to build a custom block for this, but before we dive into that is there another way to achieve this functionality?

You can switch on active database throughout a session with a simple command.

Loading another database:
$db = Loader::db( 'newserver', 'newuser', 'newpassword', 'newdatabase', true);
