FlexForms only provide a way to map data ("input fields") to some 
structred form (via xml configuration) to one single blob/text field. 
AFAIK there is no mapping to individual db fields.

Basically you will have to use tranditional fields for all data that has 
to be "sql-selectable" and may use FlexForm for the rest of th data.
