On a Silverstripe instance running MySQL I need to create a module that talks to a read only remote MSSQL database table. All of the talk here is about connecting Silverstripe to MSSQL and that's not what I need to do.
My best guess is that I have to use whatever the best php connectors are to set up and talk to MSSQL manually and not use some sort of mixed ORM. Would I be right?
