    External Database means database other than Joomla Database. You can connect database other that Joomla by following method:

    JDatabase->getInstance()
    For example: 
    $external_db = array(); //prevent problems
$external_db['driver'] = 'mysql'; // Database driver name
$external_db['host'] = 'localhost'; // Database host name
$external_db['user'] = 'root'; // User for database authentication
$external_db['password'] = 'root'; // Password for database authentication
$external_db['database'] = 'databasename'; // Database name
$db = & JDatabase::getInstance( $external_db );
