After I create a report, is it possible for me to download the raw data (ie the output of sql query) from the UI ?

No there is not at the moment.

ok. is it part of planned feature?

It should not be that difficult, but I am not a front end dev, so I can not be sure. It depends on the format of the data you want to download (pdf is way more difficult than adding an export as a csv file --> you just convert the table to comma separated lines). Meltano is an open source project. We would love if you want to check our Vue.js app and add a Merge Request with the ability to download the data from a results table in a proper format.

I just need csv, so let me take a stab 🙂

That's great! Please assign the MR to @derek_knox after you are done and mention me in the comments

Sure, its going to take some time though!

We'll be more than happy to take you through the process if you are willing to contribute. The first contribution to an open source project is always a little bit more difficult and we know that 🙂

Thanks a lot. I have been working with Meltano from 0.4 onwards, and today I have had some good results.

Thank you @raj! Keep on sending those questions here. Once everything works, the whole thing clicks pretty nicely

In the meantime, if you wanted to extract the results as a CSV you could probably write a Chrome plugin to do that 😉 I agree though - contributing to the codebase is the way to go!

Vue.js is amazing and both @derek_knox and @ben_hong are experts on it and can help with any questions you may have. My plan when I grow up and we have no more pressing updates needed for Meltano Core, our supported Extractors/Loaders and our pre-bundled Transformations and Models is to switch to a front-end intern role and learn all the secrets of Vue.js from them :-)

@yannis_roussos We'll share anytime 😄
