Extracting data from the MySQL data base

Hi,
what is the best way to go about getting the data out of teh MachForms database? Is it possible to go directly to the MySQL DB?

Basically you can directly go to MySQL backend and get the data from there. But I think easier to get the form data by export the entries to excel or csv files from machform admin.

Thanks for that. I wanted to skip out the MySQL-> CSV -> import type steps. I'm looking art doing something that refreshes every hour or so. I really wanted to automat the process.
How complex is the MySQL schema behind the forms? Once you figure it out for one form is it pretty much the same for the others?
Cheers,

Each form has it own table, for example table "form_4" refer to form 4 , so you can query that table to get the data. However, You might be need to join the table for some field like drop down. You can see this link for further information :
