the Greenbone support team registered this already as a feature request
from customers. So, a very valid request :-)
It has not been report with highest priority yet, though.
Basically, there are two sensible ways: Either retrieve the XML report and
then convert it into your own database.
The second option (and likely what we will implement) is a
Report Format Plugin that delivers directly some SQL dump for direct
import.
You can, however, run sql statments directly against the sqlite database
via command "sqlite3" using suitable access grants.
Ultimately you can try to replace the existing sqlite by something else.
But I do not recommend this as it would mean quite some work and
create some distance to the main development branch.
