Export

Export tables and query results to CSV, JSON, or SQL — with control over whether filters apply.

Export

Dora exports both table data and query results to three formats:

  • CSV — quoted, header row, RFC 4180-style escaping.
  • JSON — an array of row objects, pretty-printed, with null for nulls.
  • SQLINSERT INTO … statements, one per row, quoted for the target engine.

From the Data Studio

Press Mod+E or use the toolbar Export action. If you have filters active, Dora asks whether to export matching rows (respecting the filter and sort) or all rows. You can also export a single row to JSON or SQL from its context menu.

From the SQL Console

Run a query and use the export action in the results toolbar to save the current result set in any of the three formats.

Where files go

On the desktop app, Dora opens a save dialog so you choose the location. In the browser demo, the file downloads with a generated name such as users_export.csv.

Need a full schema instead of data? The Schema Visualizer exports CREATE TABLE DDL and Drizzle code, and the Docker Manager can export a container as a docker-compose.yml.
