Hi,
Is it possible to interact with external databases and dispay content in eZ Publish ?

Yes but you need to write your own module for it.
you can use eZDB::instance() and eZDB::setInstance($db) to switch dbs.

Just curious, I'm about to try this, but my scanning of the code for the db class looks like you can really only have one instance at a time. So, if you change the instance, even if you park this in another variable (something other than $db), you'll end up changing your database, which in most cases would break everything else.
Am I wrong? I suppose I'll find out soon enough, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Module start 'content'
