This enables efficient querying and analysis of database snapshot data using services like Amazon Athena, Redshift Spectrum, or EMR without needing to restore the snapshot to a database instance. ```gdscript3 aws.rds_export_task ``` ## Fields | Title | ID | Type | Data Type | Description | | -------------------------- | ---- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | _key | core | string | | account_id | core | string | | export_only | core | array | The data exported from the snapshot or cluster.
