 To use `xexe`, you will need to have credentials for the `xe.com` API. Specifically, you need an account id and it's matching api key.
 
+To write into the DWH, you will also need to pass credentials to connect it to it.
+
 To set up your environment, you should create a `.env` file and place it in `~/.xexe/.env`. You will have to run `xexe` as the right user to ensure the `.env` file is found. You can use the `.env-example` file as a reference. We also recommend running `chmod 400` or `chmod 600` on it for safety.
 
-Once you have done this, you can run `xexe xe-healthcheck`. If the connection to the API was successful, you will see some output telling you so.
+Once you have done this, you can run:
+
+- `xexe xe-healthcheck` to validate the connection to the xe.com API. If the connection to the API was successful, you will see some output telling you so.
+- `xexe dwh-healthcheck` to validate that the DWH is reachable. Again, you will see some happy output if things work.
+
+### DWH pre-requisites
+
+To be able to write rates into the DWH, take these points into consideration:
+
+- `xexe` expects to find the following: a database called `dwh`, schema called `sync_xedotcom_currencies`. These should already exist before `xexe` runs.
+- `xexe` should run with a user that has permission to write into `dwh/sync_xedotcom_currencies` and to create tables. It will create the right tables if it can't find them.
+- These details are hardcoded in the `constants` module. You might want to refactor them into run-time configuration options if you find yourself having to change them often.
 
 ### Using
 
@@ -31,6 +44,12 @@ You can use `xexe` to get rates and store them locally like this:
 xexe get-rates --start-date "2024-01-01" --end-date "2024-01-10" --output my_rates.csv
 ```
 
+If you want to point writing to the DWH instead of a local file.
+
+```bash
+xexe get-rates --output dwh
+```
+
 You can also run without specifying dates. Not specifying `end-date` will get rates up to today. Not specifying `start-date` will get dates up to last week.
