# DatabaseExporter

Exports Open edX data from MySQL database into a spreadsheet.
It is possible to export the sheets to a single multi sheet xlsx file or alternatively
update a Google Sheet file. On the NAU project it is used the second option.
The NAU dashboard, based on Google Data Studio, use that Google Sheet has one of
its data source.

The mysql database user needs a read grant for the `edxapp` database.

Those scripts should be run at least once a day, preference after the midnight, so your
Google Sheet file always contains the yesterday's data in full.

The queries don't have any reference to individual users, and don't have specific
identification numbers, like user id, emails or similar data; so it's GDPR compliant.
