Hi,
I was curious about how Gravity forms Stores data. I was actually lucky enough to be able to view a wordpress site which uses the plugin. However when looking at the MySQL databases in the backend I struggled to find user inputted data. I could see this on the wordpress dashboard and I know a requirement of Gravity forms installation is a MySQL database. However as I am not the original developer of the site I am not sure on the specifics. I assume the tables with the wp_rg_prefix store the meta data of the forms?
If I created a form named x with a field for email address, which table would store that data specifically? I believe Gravitys backend tables store the data in a more 'meta' fashion and dont create a new table for each new form, rather they do something where all similar types of data are grouped into tables? If I used Gravity forms on a site I created, would I be able to change this?
I wouldnt be able to do more than just view what the other developer did so I cant test but I thought I would ask here. Eventually I may want to write php code to manipulate the data gathered in through forms, but if the data is stored in such a meta fashion this would be difficult. As you can probably tell im new to wordpress but I am more comfortable with PHP development. My first hurdle is figuring out how Gravity forms store specific bits of data which are user inputted?
