MySQL to CSV

One of the most widely used database servers out there is MySQL. While there are database tools that allow you to explore the database contents, reporting to others might be a challenge. That is why an application such as MySQL to CSV might really come in handy to MySQL database administrators. 

MySQL to CSV provides an application that can export MySQL data to CSV format. CSV files are compatible with various applications and thus, they are much easier to share with others.

Thanks to the wizard-based approach, MySQL to CSV makes it easy for database managers to save MySQL database contents as a CSV file.

If you previously used MySQL to CSV and you saved the configuration settings, you can load them in the first step of the wizard so as to save time. On the other hand, if it is the first time you are using the application, you must go through all the steps to export your data.

As expected, the first step requires you to provide the necessary information to set up the connection with the MySQL server. There are two access modes, namely local or remote. You must provide authorization settings (the username and the password). In case of a remote connection, you are required to specify the host name or its IP address and the port number.

Once a connection is established, you are prompted to select the databases you want to export. MySQL to CSV supports the tab, semicolon and comma delimiters for the CSV files. Optionally, the wizard can include the field name in the CSV file or convert the table definitions only. Moving forward, you must select the tables to convert.

MySQL to CSV is very intuitive so extracting data from a MySQL database is done in a few easy steps. Following the on-screen instructions, you can easily export the database contents to a CSV file.
