Have a project where the CMS is written in Drupal. The business wants to extract all the data from the CMS and move it into a central database & use internal reporting.
At present a 3rd party charges the client per report they build through the front end which is costing a fortune.
They're saying it would be expensive for them to write reports to extract the data and are offering to just give us the reports they output. Ideally I need to understand the schema and ideally get them to give me a copy of the data. They're saying there is no backend database.
Questions for the panel are:-
(1)Is it complex?
(2) Is there a schema or not
(3) I read it has a backend MySQL database, would this be correct and shall I just tell them to send a copy of that?
