Dear Jose, those data are not stored in a database, but computed for each instant of time, for any geographical position. As you know, the altitude of celestial objects changes with time, so the lunar altitude will also depend on the time of day.
In order to correlate textual information like "altitude of the moon every day at 22:00, over one year", I am not sure how easy this would be, maybe a script could be written, but it's not a typical application for Stellarium. On the other hand, maybe some online service like NASA's HORIZONS web interface can provide you with numbers.
