External DB connection
Hi all,
Please, help me with the following problems.
1. Could you help me setting up the external db connection.
What's the best way to retrieve data from external db and output it to the website?
2. Is it possible to set up Kentico DB on Oracle server? Or only Microsoft SQL is possible?
Thanks in advance.

RE:External DB connection
Hi,

1) You can connect to the external DB as it is usual in .Net. I do not know which programming language you prefer, but using Google you can find many examples related to Ado.Net, etc.

2) Only MS SQL database is supported. Please see the system requirements.

Best Regards,
