postgresqlHow do I use a PostgreSQL exporter?


A PostgreSQL exporter is a tool used to export data from a PostgreSQL database. The exporter can be used to export data to a variety of formats, such as CSV, XML, JSON, and HTML.

The basic syntax of the PostgreSQL exporter is as follows:

\copy [table] to '[destination]' with [options];

Where:

  • [table] is the name of the table you want to export.
  • [destination] is the path to the file you are exporting to.
  • [options] is an optional list of options that can be used to customize the output.

For example, to export the contents of the users table to a CSV file:

\copy users to 'users.csv' with (format csv, header true);

The output of this command would be a CSV file named users.csv containing the data from the users table.

For more information about the PostgreSQL exporter, see the PostgreSQL documentation.
