How to extract the metadata of slices from superset

[Aakash Bhardwaj]

Hi all,

This is a general question that I couldn't find the answer to - What database is being used to store the metadata of slices that a user creates (data like the druid source, the json query generated and all the filters and settings), and how should I go about getting that data (Just the source's info should be enough, I can get the data myself if I know how it is being stored) ?

Well that depends on your setup, you can use different backends for the metadata (MySQL, Postgres, sqlite, ...). By default it's sqlite and the db is in `~/superset`.

You can also use the ORM (SQLAlchemy) to access the data programatically.

```

from superset.models import Slice

from superset import db

slices = db.session.query(Slice).all()

```
