Fetching information from another Database possibilites

Permalink
Here's my inquiry:
A Client of ours already as a MySQL database with a full inventory of items (around 400 items). The issue is that he would like to display that inventory in Concrete5 without having to export/import .CSV files all the time or something like it.

What we're looking for, is a dynamic way to show that inventory on a C5 page. When he adds items in the DB, it would also show on that page as well. We thought about HTML frames, or to get one of the add-ons that permits to add PHP in a block to get the queries but we found that both options weren't ideal.

I've looked in the Marketplace, but haven't found anything that could connect both Databases. I've come across the following thread, which I think would do the job, but I'm not 100% certain:

You could use the ecom importer, to make things truly headache free.
