Direct MySQL database survey result access - by: Joffm

Hi,

you can do that.
There is a data table for each survey called [chosen prefix]_survey_[surveyID], e.g. "lime_survey_123456"
And with "phpMyAdmin" or another database tool you can export this table to several formats, also EXCEL.

And with some SQL statements you can join your tables into one.
Like:
CREATE TABLE newtable AS SELECT * FROM table1;

INSERT INTO newtable
SELECT * FROM table1
UNION
SELECT * FROM table2
UNION ...

So you are free to use all SQL features.

But remember:
Do this you will get the column headers in the SGQA terminology and not your Question codes.
