Naive questions about contacting databases

[Sarah Reichelt]

You haven't given us much info to work with here :-) What sort of 
database are you trying to connect to?
Basically, as others have said, you can use the Database Query builder 
to get basic control of any of the SQL databases or Valentina. If you 
want to experiment with more direct access through your own scripting, 
you might like to have a look at the two MySQL example stacks on my web 
page for talking to a MySQL database.

For export, I find tab-delimited text to be extremely useful as it can 
then be imported into almost any other application, but if that's not 
what you're after, you might consider XML.

Cheers,
Sarah
