How to Export Database in DbVisualizer

Exporting Tables with DbVisualizer Pro

To export a table in DbVisualizer Pro, navigate to the Databases tab and right-click the table node. Select 'Export Table' from the menu. In the Export Table assistant, choose your desired Output Format such as CSV, HTML, SQL, TXT, XML, Excel, or JSON. Then, select an Output Destination - file, SQL Commander tab, or clipboard. Customize your export with common and format-specific options, and click 'Export' to proceed.

Export Schema/Database Feature

The Export Schema/Database feature in DbVisualizer Pro enables exporting DDLs for database objects. Access this feature to export objects like tables and views to various formats including CSV, HTML, SQL, XML, XLS, XLSX, and JSON. Choose to export all objects or a selection to a file, clipboard, or SQL Commander editor. This feature also supports exporting table data with custom data format settings and accommodates BLOB, CLOB, and binary data types.

Best Practices for DbVisualizer Exports

When exporting to Excel, format dates as text due to the lack of formatted date support. Utilize DbVisualizer variables for titles and descriptions to maintain consistency and context. Always save your export settings for future use to streamline repetitive tasks. Remember, exporting database schemas and full databases is only available with DbVisualizer Pro.

Considerations for Exporting Data

Note that the Export Table window may vary based on the database type. Adjust Data Formats as needed for accuracy in your exports. For exporting Binary/BLOB and CLOB data types, ensure that you have the proper settings configured to handle these data types effectively.
