Check help for EXEC / ENDEXEC commands (Native SQL):

You must configure database connection details in transaction DBCO.

Refer to this link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/df/455ec9747111d6b25100508b6b8a93/content.htm

Afterwards, prior to selecting data you use Native SQL statements SET CONNECTION and CONNECT TO. (search the forums for these, there's full of examples, this is one: /thread/108422 [original link is broken])

Regards
