Hi Bob,  
It's possible in the future if several ODK users vote for this:

> [@Accept CSEntry as an optional Data client for ODK servers](https://forum.getodk.org/t/accept-csentry-as-an-optional-data-client-for-odk-servers/24684):

> 1. What is the general goal of the feature? Having relational data from questionnaire on device and on server can simplify greatly data engineers and data scientists duties. Usually, connect whatever software (GIS and statistical software) to relational database, Right now the ODK1 and 2 have multiples limitations, among others, regarding distributed synchronization and storage, programming, relational database support for questionnaire data on device and on server. CSEntry is the oldest CAPI …

So we will have relational data in MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MS SQL server.  
Best,
