Hi All
Thank you for the responses so far...
I do however have a more specific question regarding this data dump that
I need to create for them.
From what I can see in the specs and current output files, the client
needs the data output in .xml format in order to use this on their side,
still trying to understand why though...
Is there a method of outputting / dumping the data into .xml format
as part of the scripts / crons/ db processes?

However, even though I can get the sql query,etc... how will I use this
to dump the data into the relevant files?
You can use the "\copy" command in psql to export the result of query into a
file. For example:
> psql -c "\\copy <smb://copy> (select * from atable) to 'myfile.csv' with
delimiter as ',' csv header" adb
will copy all rows from "atable" in "adb" to "myfile.csv" in csv format.
