API and external DB
Can i use the API to connect to any external DB i choose? I have a soap application that connects to my Oracle DB and run commands to it to extract user info for authentication to my expression engine website. EE calls this application for info from the DB. Can i do something similar?

RE:API and external DB
Hello.

You can connect to external DB via standard ADO.NET logic, according to following example: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/displaying_data_from_external_database.htm

However, we support Microsoft SQL Server only (not Oracle) at the present time.
