Access OF Arena Backend DB?

Dear all

We use a Postgres DB to manage our data. It would be great to be able to access the OF Arena backend directly from our DB using a foreign data wrapper. So we could automate data processing without the need for a csv export.

Is it possible to get access rights to the Arena backend; access to the survey_xx_data schema of the survey would be sufficient.

Thank you Christoph

Dear Christoph,
In Arena we use one database with several schemas, 2 schemas for each survey (one with the survey definition and the data, another one with the data in a relational format, which is the survey_xx_data schema you would need).
To achieve what you need, we should be able to create a user in the database who can access only a specific schema, but as far as I know, with PostgreSQL you cannot grant such permission and avoid that a user can view other schemas too.
We will contact you to your private email address, to better understand your needs.
Thanks,
Open Foris Team
