Thanks for supplying this example. I have been playing with Exiftool to see if there is some way to use it to move captions and GPS locations from an extract of the Elements database into an .xmp file for each raw photo. No luck so far. I will have to rethink how I am trying to do things to see if your SQL code (or similar) might provide a better method than the one I am attempting. There is a nasty problem in Elements with some Raw files (like my Nikon D80) where the captions and GPS information is not transported to a .jpg file when you edit the Raw and save as .jpg. Same for saving as .psd. Similarly, Elements will not write these metadata to the Raw file (another bug), nor to the .xmp file. Basically, there is no way to obtain this information from the Elements data base and make use of it outside of elements (without writing a program, as you did). Since I just started to use Raw, this bug has led me to go back to shooting .jpg originals for now, as the bug doesn't apply to .jpg originals. Very interesting. Thanks for supplying this example.
