Question

I have an external database that obviously is storing some data. I am setting up a “monitoring” page that grabs data and displays it in a table format with the most recent inserted values. i have already written a module that displays this data (getting the data and theming it by hand so to speak). The current setup is nice but i wanted to attempt to integrate this data with views. i came across the data module but it appears that i would need to get data into the drupal database. although that is easy, it just doesn’t make sense to copy data from one repo to another repo.

Is there a way to get external data to integrate with views nicely?
