Database Import and Export

Data can be imported to a DB connection from a file on your machine, or exported and downloaded to you machine.

Overview

In this guide, you will learn how to import and export a file for the following supported Database protocols:

• MySQL

• SQL Server

• PostgreSQL

SQL Import and Export

SQL Import

Import data from a file on your machine into the MySQL connection.

To import data from a csv file, is the LOAD DATA MySQL command:

Copy

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "input.csv" INTO TABLE <table> FIELDS
  TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'

In the example above, "<table>" should be replaced with the SQL table to import data into. The other parts of the command are required for CSV-formatted files. If your uploaded file uses different termination characters update the query accordingly.

After running the query, Keeper Connection Manager will prompt you to supply the data file. To upload the file, simply drag and drop it from your machine onto the browser window.

The file uploaded does not have to have the same name given in the query

SQL Export

Data from the connected MySQL database can be exported to a file on your machine. To do this, use the following query:

Copy

 SELECT <query> INTO LOCAL OUTFILE "<name>.csv"

The result of the given <query> will be put into a CSV file with the given name and downloaded from the browser to your machine.

SQL Server Import and Export

SQL Server Import

Import data from a file on your machine into the SQL Server connection.

To import data from a csv file, is the COPY command:

Copy

BULK INSERT <table> FROM LOCAL FILE

In the example above, "<table>" should be replaced with the SQL table to import data into. The other parts of the command are required for CSV-formatted files. If your uploaded file uses different termination characters update the query accordingly.

After running the query, Keeper Connection Manager will prompt you to supply the data file. To upload the file, simply drag and drop it from your machine onto the browser window.

The file uploaded does not have to have the same name given in the query

SQL Server Export

Data from the connected PostgreSQL database can be exported to a file on your machine. To do this, use the following query:

Copy

 SELECT <query> INTO LOCAL OUTFILE "<name>.csv"

The result of the given <query> will be put into a CSV file with the given name and downloaded from the browser to your machine.

PostgreSQL Import and Export

PostgreSQL Import

Import data from a file on your machine into the PostgreSQL connection.

To import data from a csv file, is the COPY command:

Copy

 \COPY <table> FROM "input.csv" With CSV

In the example above, "<table>" should be replaced with the SQL table to import data into. The other parts of the command are required for CSV-formatted files. If your uploaded file uses different termination characters update the query accordingly.

After running the query, Keeper Connection Manager will prompt you to supply the data file. To upload the file, simply drag and drop it from your machine onto the browser window.

The file uploaded does not have to have the same name given in the query

PostgreSQL Export

Data from the connected PostgreSQL database can be exported to a file on your machine. To do this, use the following query:

Copy

 \COPY (<query>) TO "<name>.csv" With CSV HEADER

The result of the given <query> will be put into a CSV file with the given name and downloaded from the browser to your machine.
