Data export in MySQL is a frequent task and a pivotal practice for data storage and transmission. This article will harness the capabilities of SQLynx to demonstrate the process of MySQL data export.
While basic database tools commonly support single-table data export, these packages almost always impose export volume limitations, capping at approximately 200k rows (varies with data types and single-row widths).
In contrast, SQLynx emerges as a superior alternative for exporting database table data, extending the following benefits:
- Unlimited row export (Applies to CSV. Excel inherently has limitations).
- Exponential speed increase relative to conventional SQL tools.
- Facilitates both single-table and complex query result exports.

Upon successful login, you’ll encounter a dashboard to guide you to your preferred database. Identify and select the table(s) you wish to export.
Step 3: Execute a Query

Best Practices & Recommendations
Ensure that you possess sufficient permissions to perform data exports. Verify whether the exported data format aligns with your requirements, especially for CSV format with regards to data separators and encoding settings. Expect a more prolonged export process for large data sizes — patience is required.
