Hi All,

We are planning to develop a pre-receive hook which will analyse the commit code and update the DB under specific conditions. Before I work on the solution, I would like to clarify below questions.

1. is it possible to access GitHub database from prereceive hook configured in GitHub enterprise?

2. what are all the supported programming language for pre-receive hook?

3. Do we have any option add a link in GitHub repository/admin settings page to show the data captured by pre-receive hook?
