Database queries (get access from me)

Can you expand on this? how can we help

@diaz-de-berenguer I have a database of all the locations recorded from the paste few months. I could use some fresh eyes writing queries to extract interesting information from it. This would be helpful stuff to bring to RIDE and NORTA.
