can we access the couchbase database

[Andrew Mead]

Hi Brendan,

I would like to access the database directly to pull out data so I can create some charts from the data stored in tap forms.

Do you know if this is possible, and what might be the easiest way to access it

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Tap Forms stores the database file inside the .tapforms document. The .tapforms file is actually a package folder and can be navigated into by right-clicking on the file and then selecting the “Show Package Contents” option in the Finder.

You can navigate down further and eventually get to the db.sqlite file which is the actual database file.

HOWEVER, I’d be surprised if you could make heads or tails out of the contents of it.

Couchbase is a “NoSQL” database where all the data is stored as JSON structured documents. It’s not your standard rows and columns type data structure.
