Hi Annette

You can read about the functionality of the Database activity in Moodle here:
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Database_activity_module

As you will see it is essentially a flat file database (not an RDBMS like MS Access).

If you are actually talking about the underlying database of Moodle, usually MySQL, then you would use MySQL Queries for reporting.
