Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

SqlCsvDbeaver

Sql Problem Overview


Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this:

  • Run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done

This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it.

The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below:

exporting data set

But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query

Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.

As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful").

Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus.

Solution 1 - Sql

You don't need to use the clipboard, you can export directly the whole resultset (not just what you see) to a file :

  1. Execute your query
  2. Right click any anywhere in the results
  3. click "Export resultset..." to open the export wizard
  4. Choose the format you want (CSV according to your question)
  5. Review the settings in the next panes when clicking "Next".
  6. Set the folder where the file will be created, and "Finish"

The export runs in the background, a popup will appear when it's done.


In newer versions of DBeaver you can just :

  1. right click the SQL of the query you want to export
  2. Execute > Export from query
  3. Choose the format you want (CSV according to your question)
  4. Review the settings in the next panes when clicking "Next".
  5. Set the folder where the file will be created, and "Finish"

The export runs in the background, a popup will appear when it's done.

Compared to the previous way of doing exports, this saves you step 1 (executing the query) which can be handy with time/resource intensive queries.

Solution 2 - Sql

The problem was the box "open new connection" that was checked. So I couldn't use my temporary table.

  5. Set the folder where the file will be created, and "Finish"

Solution 4 - Sql

Is there a reason you couldn't select your results and right click and choose Advanced Copy -> Advanced Copy? I'm on a Mac and this is how I always copy results to the clipboard for pasting.
