Getting a jump start with IEF

Recipe Difficulty: Easy

Python Version: 3.5

Operating System: Any

This recipe will act as a quick means of dumping all reports from IEF to a CSV file and an introduction to interacting with IEF results.

As IEF can be configured to scan specific categories of information, it is not so simple as dumping out set tables for each IEF database. Instead, we must determine this information dynamically and then interact with said tables. This recipe will dynamically identify result tables within the IEF database and dump them to respective CSV files. This process can be performed on any SQLite database to quickly dump its contents to a CSV file for review.
