Fill table with data from external database

Display external database data in a CF table.

Overview

The table view lacks a built-in external data source option.
Use a Read Data action to populate the table, as a data source setting will be added in a future update.

Hi Max, 

I tried to create a page showing (in a table) the content from an external database table. Via the read database function I can access the data. However in the table option there is no behaviour external table available. Is there a work around? Will this feature be added (soon)? 

Kind regards,Pim

Hi Pimh

This feature is not available at the moment, when do you need it ?

No need. Can work around it, but it would have been handy if it did exist.

I have added a data source setting for the table view in the next update, you can use a Read Data action to feed the table!
