Hi, For a request from a client, I have built a data transfer tool to transfer data out of NocoDB into postgres for use with an external reporting tool. If you’re looking to solve the same issue, please get in touch. ---

Hey, was that from cloud? To give more insight - each base of nocodb is just postgres behind the scenes. So if you want to achieve reporting with this - how are you keeping external posgres in sync ? ---

Hi, Yeah it’s all cloud based, the client does not need live data and there is no need to replicate all the data into a reporting database. It’s essentially a data pipeline that reads a NocoDB table and strips out the columns not needed for reporting and loads the data you need into a table ran at a scheduled time
