There is an addon that allows you to link documents to an external database that may be of help. Check the addons site https://addons.alfresco.com/

If that doesn't work for you, you will need a dashlet that uses a grid (YUI datagrid is "built in to Alfresco") and you can populate it one of 2 ways:-

Option 2 may well give you a cross site scripting error so if you want to use AJAX to load the data you may well need to write a the Java backed webscript in option 1 anyway.
