 * Hello,
 * I am very new to using wordpress and am looking to write information from several
   forms in several different tables. I need functionality which is only available
   in Contact Form 7.
 * Is it possible to make CFDB write to an existing database?
 * If not, how many different forms/tables can Contact Form DB support?

 * CFDB writes everything to its own table. It does not write to tables that you
   select. The table that it writes to does not have the structure you probably 
   expect. [http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=71](http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=71)
 * You can write your own PHP code and connect it to a hook in CFDB or one directly
   in CF7 (so you don’t need CFDB). Your code can receive form submissions. You 
   can put in code to write that data it to your own table. The hook for CFDB is
   described: [http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=747](http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=747)
