title: Can I access Lotus Notes' database?
body: <p>This is my first time working with Lotus notes so I only know how to use it. I am also a developer so I know a bit about databases. Currently I receive requests for adding users to AD accounts or disabling users from AD or even modifying their attributes in AD. These requests come to me through Lotus Notes. I was wondering that Lotus Notes has to have some sort of database so <strong>could I possible get access to these ESM requests through their databse? So what I am saying is, can I access these ESM requests directly through database and not Lotus Notes?</strong></p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I have worked wiht PHP/mySQL before so my goal here is to treat Lotus Note's database like an SQL database so I can query it through some script to generate csv versions of the requests. Because of my lack of experience with Lotus Notes or its database I don't know whether I can access or query the Lotus notes database like I do wiht PHP/mySQL.</p>
