What type of database is it and what do you use to pull your reports?
I'll make you a new report for a tenner.

Adding a filter in SQL and changing the headers from "customers" to "people who may or may not have recieved custom"
will take me about 5 mins.

I'm not questioning your ability to do it, I'm questioning his ability to pay you a tenner.

The problem is that there isn't an export from this site with all the relevant information in it, from which it could be sorted.
It's all custom stuff: for you to extract it you'd need access to parts of the back end of the site which we cannot get into - annoying as fuck because if we could it would be easy. These wankers want paying to give me information I should be able to get in an instant.

What is the point in having this information if you can't access it?
I think you need to get someone else to set up your website.

I think you are entirely correct.

So the report you're getting is direct from a webpage?
If you don't have access to the raw data just go back saying "I won't pay for a report to be designed just set up a straight data export to be sent over an ftp to be stored and analysed locally"
Even if they're hosting the whole thing they should probably accept that the data is owned by your company and it's up to you what you do with it.

Thanks a lot.

You'll need to do a risk assesment about storing the data though.
We will password protect the data, encrypt the files, not browse porn on the servers, keep antivirus up to date. Review this in three months. That sort of thing.

Wait, wait, back up there...
"NOT browse porn"??
Sounds rubbish.
