I need to connect to another database in Joomla! that's on another server. This is for a plugin and I need to pull some data from a table.
Now what I don't want is to use this database to run Joomla!, I already have Joomla! installed and running on its own database on its server but I want to connect to another database (ON TOP of the current one) to pull some data, then disconnect from that 3rd party database - all while keeping the original Joomla database connection in tact.
