Use REST functions to connect to legacy enterprise data (oracle, salesforce, etc)?

Is there a tutorial about using the REST functions to connect to other legacy (backend) databases, for example Oracle, SAP, Salesforce.com, etc?

I read the "How to use REST to connect to Parse.com" tutorial and it was great, but was wondering if the current feature set can connect to existing legacy databases.

Thanks!

If your backend exposes REST API, then you can easily connect to them in the same fashion as in the Parse tutorial. That's one of the main features in Tiggzi - ability to use any REST API. Do you have any example service URLs?
