Question before buying

[DSdad]

Hi, before I plunge into VB, I have a website integration question:

Is there a way to aggregate data from a VB community into a database with searchable fields? I'm trying to create a community of bikers using mom/pop motorcycle ("mc") repair shops, then aggregate the info on the mc repair shops posted to VB by members of the community into a separate database with multiple fields (name, address, hours, bikes serviced) so the community members can search by things like zip code (proximity to them), types of bikes serviced, hours, etc. That way, when a user goes to my new site, they can either use the VB community to discuss their experiences with a mc repair shop or, if they need one, they can input their zip and find one close by.

Thanks in advance for any insights!
