When you turn on the statement logging, you can get a pretty complete picture of what's going on, but it's not really the 'best' way right. We will be adding stored procedures to do many of the manipulations you describe, right in the db layer. Once that's togeather and working, You can connect directly to the database and use those SP's to manipulate the data. For now, I'd use the Chris' CLI tool in svn, (trunk/utils/cli) or the web api, where you just GET/POST urls to oe.pl. (I can get you an example later, don't have one handy right now) If you insert/update directly into the database, you'll have to carefully watch schema changes when you upgrade to ensure you continue to set the correct data. If you don't, you may find that one day you'll have a bunch of inconsistent data in your database. :( Also, in the next month or two, a REST API is coming, where you should be able to simply POST XML Sales order documents.
