Reading/Saving to a different databse

Hello
Sorry if there is a simple answer but I cannot seem to find the answer.
I have a joomla database which I would like to use in order to provide login information (username and encrypted password) for a site created with phprunner.
From my reading (so far) of the documentation for phprunner, we can easily read from (and save to) a new TABLE but not from a new database. Is there some way in which I can read and write from a different database to accomplish my purpose of using the Joomla login information to enable logins on my phprunner site?
I am also keeping my fingers crossed that the Joomla database is using md5 encryption.
Thanks for any help.

Andrew

Andrew,
you can connect to another database manually in the events (for example in the Login Page: Before process event).
