 * I just noticed in my database that the primary column is called field value, 
   and within this column are all sorts of various data such that calling up a certain
   row for display is pretty much impossible. Am I missing something? Why would 
   the database be laid out like this?

 * Why? Read this: [http://cfdbplugin.com/?p=71](http://cfdbplugin.com/?p=71)
 * How to query? In the Database Options page, you can turn on displaying of the
   query on the Database admin page that is used to query the data. Also see: [http://cfdbplugin.com/?p=239](http://cfdbplugin.com/?p=239)

 * Because Particpants Database overflows the boundaries of my template, and CF7DE
   has no CSS formatting. So I was going to simply use CF7DE for what it’s good 
   for … sticking stuff into a database and performing reliably with its shortcodes…
   and use my program to display the information. Good luck with that because the
   database for CF7DE couldn’t be more wonky (even if there is a page in the user
   manual justifying the layout).
 * So much for standardization.
