I want to go through our BI developpers SQL queries, which they are executin against our on prem database.

Hi @user039888
If you're using workbench you can export jobs via the export-job or export-jobs command:
PS C:\Program Files\Domo\Workbench> .\Wb.exe help
Workbench Console Tool
Copyright (C) 2017 Domo
Version 5.0.6996.33056
Usage: wb [command] [option...]
check-jobs Causes the service to check for jobs that need to be run
export-jobs Exports DataSet Jobs to a folder
export-job Exports a DataSet Job to a file
export-key Exports your key if it's in an exportable format
import-key Imports the exported key
queue-job Queues a DataSet Job to be run asynchronously by the service
run-job Runs a DataSet Job synchronously and displays the resultsYou'd need to supply the dataset ID.
There is also the Domo Governance Datasets Connector which can get you a list of all of the datasets and additional information (Beast Modes, Cards, Data Flows, etc. but not the underlying SQL queries) so you could have this connector run on a daily basis and then have a script to export that dataset to get a list of all the other data sets you want to be exported. The jobs get exported as JSON files.
