base_external_dbsource

Purpose

Provides a reusable model inside Odoo to define, test, and reuse SQL connections to external databases from server-side automations.

Features

base.external.dbsource: Lets administrators register remote database connections with host, driver, credentials, and reuse them throughout Odoo.
base.external.dbsource: Adds a test-and-query interface so users can validate the external database configuration before it is used in production flows.
server_actions: Offers helper methods that server actions or custom code can call to run SQL on the chosen external database and retrieve rows.
technical: Centralizes connection handling and error management for external SQL calls so multiple integrations can share the same reliable API.
