What is great about Drupal is that when you create a content type, even using CCK module and defining extra custom fields, everything is automagically persisted in the database and may be retrieved as nodes. You don't have to worry about that.<br>
<br>And, Drupal has a contributed module which is really practically part of Drupal itself (no-one develops any serious sites without using it and CCK): the Views module, which is a query generator so you don't have to use SQL to list your nodes. There is a powerful graphical interface which allows you to create your query on the fly and even shows you a preview of the list you will be getting.<br>
<br>The views module (<a href="http://drupal.org/project/views">http://drupal.org/project/views</a>) also allows you to create as many displays of the view (Page/Block/RSS etc.) as you like.<br><br>That's why everyone is flocking to Drupal!<br>

Hello,</p><p style="margin: 1.2em 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">I'm new to Drupal, and after looking FAPI documentation there are some kind of things that are not clear to me.</p>
<p style="margin: 1.2em 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Where go the data once the form has been submitted?? The data submitted on a form is stored as a node or other kind of content or have I to create a table on the database and storing post values inside that table???</p>
<p style="margin: 1.2em 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">How can I create a view where I can show all the data that has been submitted???</p>
<p style="margin: 1.2em 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Thanks in advance</p></span>
