Sharepoint 2013 - Query a SQL DB to pull information
On our current .asp intranet site we query information from several SQL DB's such as daily lunch menu, MTD/YTD company sales, open orders, etc.
We are in the process of changing to Sharepoint and would like to pull the same information. I find questions on how to query the Sharepoint DB but I need to query other DB's
Thanks for any help.

The DB connection is in the include file
<!--#include file="sql/includes/SQL_SER
But I do not know how to do this type of thing in SharePoint. I took a page and added code and all that but is just displayed my code and not run it. So I don't know where to start.
I am pretty new to SharePoint.

Sorry if I seem frustrating or such.. But does anyone have an example .aspx or something I can look at to see. Or if I were to show you what .asp I am using you can be more specific how you would accomplish the same thing?

I will try these suggestions and open new if needed.
Set MyRS = dli.Execute(strSQLQuery)
How MyRS knows which DB to query? From Server connection right?
So you should to connect to others DB as you are connecting to this one but need to change the connection string for access to the correct database.
