It should be safe to do that. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/querying-the-machform-database-is-that-ok#post-21698 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 09:29:42 +0000 anujagrawal 21698@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Sort of building on a previous post (http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/multiple-choice-options-driven-from-entries-of-another-form?replies=2), is it ok to write code that goes against the machform database to display a set of results? I think the administrator view of the data is great, but i was looking to display the results in a different way, so is it ok to query the database directly? Any downsides or no-no's to that approach?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
