Hello all,
I am looking at the database tables that Drupal uses and am curious how the profile_values table gets populated? I am using the LDAP module to handle authentication and to fill in certain Drupal fields that are displayed under the My Account tab. I am using the Bio module for additional profile settings.
Additionally, I am using a view to show all registered members. This will display names and email addresses. However, some email addresses are not showing up and I have noticed that there is nothing in the profile_values table for those users. Upon looking at their profile page, their email address does show up.
Any thoughts?

profile_values is populated by the profile module
While the profile_values is populated by the profile module, the email address is generally collected as part of the user module and stored in the users table. Having not used the LDAP module I am not aware of what role it plays in this.
