MV database sucks (at least for people from RDBMSs world), for one thing, no where to begin with "data transparancy", all right, enough bashing.
Another approach is to connect to this sort of "database", transform and export such "database" to an RDBMS, then, using CF or whatever language you like to do your stuff, I had some success.
