I guess the best way to integrate this into mediawiki is through a special page, but I was unable to find any useful doc (whereas help for extensions on meta-wiki is really useful. Thanks).

Hi, I'm assuming the metawiki page you are referring to is [[meta:Writing a new special page]] and that you know how to integrate a special page to the system.

I recommend reading the API documentation ( http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/doc/ ) or actually going through the source code and finding out how the core code goes about doing the job.

I need a custom page with access to another DB, SQL requests and processing.

If the DB is not the same as the one MediaWiki is using, you will likely have to implement your own infrastructure. From what it seems to me, the current DB classes are not easily reusable. I may be wrong though.
