 * I would like to work with the data now stored in the PDB. Is this possible, is
   the data stored in MySql by chance?
 * I have to export the data into Excel and create sub-totals, counts, pivot tables,
   etc to get information I need right now. It would be great if I could use one
   of the plugins out there to create reports based on the data stored in your database
   if possible?
 * Thank you!

 * The data is stored in the same database (although a different table) as the WordPress
   application is using. So, yes, probably MySQL. Any tool that will interact directly
   with the database will work, the way the data is stored is “flat” so it’s simple
   to work with.
 * It’s also possible, of course, to use CSV to go back and forth.

 * I got it, I created a few reports using sql statements and found a plugin that
   turns it into HTML, so perfect! Thank you!
