The steps to expose the already present stats collector from a dashboard chart are to install it.

The way to export the data to a database is to use a Database.Connector and query the (now installed) StatsCollector and use the database's INSERT INTO clause (the syntax changes depending on the specific database).

This is already described in the post to which you linked.

It will be something like this (sqlite example):

Database.Connection con=Database.Connection("SQLiteConnection");
int connected=con.isConnected;
if (!connected)
    connected=con.connect();
    
if (connected){
    Database.PreparedStatement statement=con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO StatsCollectorData VALUES(:Time,:Object,:Staytime)");
    Table collector = Table("Staytime Collector");
    int numrows=collector.numRows;
    for (int i = 1; i <= numrows; i++) {
        statement.bindParam("Time", collector[i]["Time"], Database.DataType.DateTime);
        statement.bindParam("Object", StatisticsCollector.getPathFromID(collector[i]["Object"]), Database.DataType.VarChar);
        statement.bindParam("Staytime", collector[i]["Staytime"], Database.DataType.Double);
        statement.execute();
    }    
}

if (connected)
    con.disconnect();
