It was my understanding that it isn't possible to connect directly to external databases from app engine because you're limited to making http requests, but I came across App Rocket recently and some how it seems that it is connecting to an external mysql instance.
How is App Rocket actually working and is there a way to connect to external databases after all? https://github.com/k7d/approcket/tree/master/rocket -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
