Hi. I have a mysql database with all my customer information. What is the best way to display / edit data within the database in Drupal 7. Ideally I'd like a page on my website with forms etc to add / retrieve data.

I've been googling for a while and am a bit confused as to the best way to do this!

Thanks in advance

data is added via forms it isn't retrieved via forms. If you want to add the already existing data to Drupal 7 so that it can be edited, you will need to generate a content type with your fields and move your data to drupal's schema.

Thanks. In the end I created a new table within the drupal db, copied the data across from the old table and then used the "data" module to adopt the table.
