Can I reuse my database query pens in another easy chart,  
if so how do I import them.  
I don’t see any reference to them in any of the database tables.

The configuration of easy chart pens are stored on expert-level dataset properties on the easy chart itself. You can copy and paste this dataset onto another easy chart if you want.
