Using Backend SQL database to pull info onto page??

is it possible to have a backend SQL database (member directory for my schools for example) and set up a search page (with drop downs perhaps) where a page visitor could "search" and have info from the backend database pulled onto a page?

not really sure what you mean, but you can always create user defined tag and do anything you would normally do with php (well maybe not everything but a lot)
hope this helps

Are you talking about a pre-existing database? or something yet to be setup. if it's yet to be setup, check out formbuilder/formbrowser. They're in beta right now, and require 1.0 but they're for "user defined databases".

I am talking about pulling info from a already created mysql database. Can one of the pages pull that info?
for example, I have a db set up with different schools names/emails/etc. Can i set up a search db on a page that will pull that data from the db as results?

If I'm right it could be done with sql tag
