That's a hard task for a newbie...

You can find examples here

Hi Tiziano

You have two options. The first (as Björn pointed out) is to import the existing database information into Exponential CMS objects. This would allow for the data to be managed as well as being displayed via the CMS.

The other option is to create an extension to the CMS that reads the information from the database and displays it via the CMS.

Both options require php programing and eZ experience.

Cheers
Bruce
