Access to database of production app

1
Hi,   Is there a way to access the app's database of a published app (Mendix Cloud) in production? An old (v7) App is running and we would like to extract data from some tables in the model without editing the App code and build export functionality or other code changes and re-deploying. We just need to access the data stored.

Why don't you download a backup and run it locally? This will give you exactly what you are looking for.

Hi Jeroen,

 

According to this post: https://community.mendix.com/link/space/app-development/questions/94737

It is not possible to directly connect to the database of mendix cloud, and it is advised you use OData. Also, because of the older version I don't think the Bizzomate devtools is an option: https://bizzomate.com/bizzomate-introduces-devtool-to-safely-build-mendix-applications/

 

OData might be the fastest option: https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/published-odata-services/

If it's just to read data, I would look to download the database to a local instance of Postgres, and then run a local copy of the Mx7 app. There should be no need to modify the application or make a deployment in this case.
