Databases are MS-SQL, but beyond that I don't know. When I asked about
 accessing the databases directly I got a very terse reply from Capita
 who pointed out that this was in flagrant breach of the license. Seems
 a bit odd to me that the school can't choose how to access its own
 data (they don't even know the authentication details for the MS-SQL
 server) but there you are.
