Hi guys,

we have a SQL-database and our plan is to use LimeSurvey to gather specific data about our customers (which are in our SQL-database). The gathering-process is done by our employees and mainly by phone or via mail. Now we want to connect our database with LimeSurvey to have the possibility to search and select in dropdown menus (the database contains at least 5000 customers) and therefore link gathered data to individual customers.

Is this possible by any means?

Best regards

By plugin:

See gitlab.com/SondagesPro/QuestionSettingsType/cpVille for an usage of a DB for autocomplete in a multiple short text question
And gitlab.com/Shnoulle-LimeSurvey-plugin/Au.../AuthWPbyDB.php#L227 to add an external DB connexion on another database

Else : you can use directly an javascript solution calling via ajax a php file on your own.
