Selecting different DBs

I've created two new tables that I've added into my vbulletin database.

But can someone possibly explain how you access and query other (non-vb) databases, to run queries, and then be able to add the results of those queries into your vbulletin database?

I done the below, but I'm not sure how to return back to the vbulletin database.

PHP Code:


		
			
if(!empty($dbname) && !empty($tname))

{

    //Submitted Valid data, need to check if DataBase and Table exists

    $checkdb = mysql_select_db($dbname);

    if(!$checkdb)

    {

        $error = 'Error!!  That Database does not exist. <br/><br/>Please go back and input a correct database and table name.';

        print_cp_message($error);

    } else {

        //Database Exists, Check to see The Table Exists..TO DO

        

           //Ok, Its a new item Database and Table, so add it

        $query = $db->query_read("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "multi_db_add (db_name, table_name) VALUES ('{$dbname}', '{$tname}') "); 

        print_cp_message('Database and Table added Successfully', 'multiuser.php?do=modify',1);

    }

}

Can anyone maybe give a hand?

I'm reading all I can on the vbulletin database class, but I can't seem to figure out how to re-access the my vbulletin database after using mysql_select_db() to work with a non-vb database.

You can use this "query style" to access a different database (as long as the user has permissions to do so). This does not need the mysql_select_db() function.
[sql]SELECT *
FROM database1.table1[/sql]
