\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang2052\f0\fs20 Hello Rob,
\par
\par I understand that you want to know some difference between Sharepoint List and Database.
\par
\par Well, generally speaking, Sharepoint List is only a Layout layer and it get the data from the Sharepoint backend databases.
\par
\par You could use the Office 2007 products like Excel 2007 and Access 2007 to connect with the Sharepoint list directly. So for your first question, if you are using Access 2007 or Excel 2007, you could link to Sharepoint List and use the Office client product as a front-end.
\par
\par For your second question, I am not sure what database you are using. Take SQL Server for example, you could add index and trigger in the database to get more funcationality.
\par
\par But if you only need to get the information from the sharepoint list, you could use the list instead.
\par
\par Hope this helps.
\par
\par Sincerely,
\par
