Quick observation about custom database work with Tribal: I have found most of EBS's database to be fairly straightforward to work with, with the exception of the timetabling / attendance system, which is Byzantian in complexity! I emailed the helpdesk asking how to get a simple query that would give us:
Student name & Id, date & time, room, teacher, course, class, attendance mark
Basic stuff for an attendance system, you would think? Something we could then refine to get the specific data we need. I was told that work would require a (paid) consultant!
I was not impressed.
