    Pulling data from custom database

    Hi,

    We are thinking about switching to Umbraco (version 5) to use for our websites. The problem for me is that I am not sure how to pull data from our own database. A lot of data from our current website is database driven. A small example of what I'm trying to achieve: I'm trying for example pull a list of players, and if you click one player you will see a page with some details of the player.

    So far I created a SurfaceController and was able to display a list of players, then created a macro pointing to the correct function in the Controller. Followed by a Template and a Partial. But if I want to display the details of the player do I need to create another function within the Surface controller, then create a new macro etc. or is there an easier way of achieving this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Michel
