Export data from MySQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL database into CSV/TSV text files. Based on -m --mode option value, two methods of data selection are availble: in line SQL select statement(s), or SQL file name(s) containing SQL select statement(s). All command line parameters must correspond to similar mode; mixing of parameters for different modes is not supported.
Database driver name. Possible values: mysql, Oracle, Postgres or Pg. Default: MySQL or value of environment variable DBI_DRIVER. This script has only been tested with MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL drivers.
Database host name. Default: 127.0.0.1 for both MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL. For remote databases, specify complete remote host domain: dbhostname.org or something like it.
Database name. Default: mysql for MySQL, postgres for PostgreSQL and none for Oracle. For connecting to local/remote Oracle databases, this value can be left undefined assuming --dbhost is correctly specified.
Database user password. Default: none and value of environment variable DBI_PASS is used for connecting to database.
Database user name. Default: none and value of environment variable DBI_USER is used for connecting to database.
This option is mode specific and controls exporting of column data labels during exportdata mode. Possible values: yes or no. Default: yes.
This option is mode specific and controls exporting of CLOB/BLOB data columns during exportdata mode. Possible values: yes or no. Default: no.
Print this help message.
Data selection criterion from database. Two different command line parameter methods are available: in line SQL statement(s) specification or file name(s) containing SQL select statement(s). This value determines how command line parameters are processed.
Possible values: SQLStatement or SQLFile. Default value: SQLStatement
In SQLFile mode, SQL file contains select statements delimited by ;. And the lines starting with # or - are ignored.
Overwrite existing files.
Output text file delimiter. Possible values: comma, tab, or semicolon Default value: comma.
Put quotes around column values in output text file. Possible values: yes or no. Default value: yes.
New file name is generated using the root:<Root><No>.<Ext>. Default new file file names: SQLStatement<No>.<Ext>, or <SQLFileName><StatementNo>.<Ext>. The csv and tsv <Ext> values are used for comma/semicolon, and tab delimited text files respectively.This option is ignored for multiple input parameters.
Replace NULL or undefined row values with specified value. Default: none
For importing output text files into MySQL database using "load data local infile '<tablename>.tsv' into table <tablename>" command, use --raplacenullstr "NULL" in conjunction with --exportdatalabels no, --quote no, and --outdelim tab options: it'll generate files for direct import into MySQL assuming tables already exists.
Location of working directory. Default: current directory.
To export all data in user_info table from a MySQL server running on a local machine using username/password from DBI_USER and DBI_PASS environmental variables, type:
To describe user table in a MySQL server running on a remote machine using explicit username/password and capturing the output into a UserTable.csv file, type:
To describe table all_tables in Oracle running on a remote machine using explicit username/password and capturing the output into a AllTable.tsv file, type:
