database change for mods.

[Mad-Man]

Is there a way to change a mod from using the default vbulletin database to one of my choosing? If so, where would I begin. And when in doing that, will that be against the rules as far as the mod creator would be concerned.

I do understand that this is a very broad question and for that I do apologize. It's for a ban list and I don't want to use the default database for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
