Database Question

Hello,

I am trying to find out if there is a way to take data created in
SharePoint and move it to an external custom datbase (i.e. SQL, not
Access).

My boss's grand vision to take task or other list data, with attached
files and documents, and somehow magically move it with one click into
an external custom database. The end goal is to have that data then
replicated up to a different database that we do not control.

From what I have read in my research I'm not sure if this is even
possible. How would you move native SharePoint data out of SharePoint?

If someone knows of a way that this would be doable, or knows of a
third-solution that would render this capability, any information is
much appreciated.

Please don't post the same question as two separate messages to two
different newsgroups. (Also sent to .portalserver). It just duplicates
threads and duplicates the effort of people replying.

I suggest we leave it to that thread in .portalserver to attempt an
answer to it (I started but jumped off when I realised it was a
multi-question post)
