Well,
let me explain a little bit. For various reason if have my Calibre Book stock parallel in an Excel sheet. I do this by exporting the database into a CSV file and importing this into Excel. I have this nearly automated as Excel checks when opening the csv file for changes and if so it adjusts my Excel sheet with additions, changes, etc.

No i wonder if i can skip this csv exporting and connect Excel directly with the Calibre Content server local. Excel can do this with MySQL servers and a lots of other external sources.
Is there a way with Calibre content server?

Thanks
Thomas
