Available Data Export Actions
Exportizer offers a wide range of actions for exporting data from databases, data files, or clipboard.
To copy or export the data from an opened dataset, use Export button
.
Under the Export menu, all export actions are available:
- Export to File or Database

- Export from Clipboard
Export text data from clipboard to a file or relational database like it is done for table data. No source database connection is required. The conversion from the text to a table is done by the interface which is very similar to creating schemas for text tables.
There is a detailed example of exporting data from clipboard.

In most cases, after choosing an action, Export dialog window will appear. Go through the steps and click the corresponding button to perform selected action. If Build Command Line action was selected, you will see the command line, which can be then copied and used, for example, in batch files. In other cases, the data will be copied or exported to the specified target.

Close this window after clicking Export/Copy/Build
When you select this option, the export dialog will be closed right after you click Export/Copy/Build button; otherwise, the export dialog will remain open even when your action is done and you will be able to quickly change the options and repeat your action. This option is available only if you export data from one table.
Open target after successful exporting
When you select this option, and the export operation was successful, then the target is opened by software, which is set as default software for the target type.
In multi-table exporting, it works differently depending on the target type:
- when exporting to HTML, and Create index file option is turned on, the index.html file (it contains hyperlinks to all exported files) is opened;
- when exporting to a server or multi-table file database, the last table is opened;
- for other cases, each exported file is opened.
Note: Anyway, after exporting is finished, a small dialog box with the data export result appears where you can choose whether to show exported file(s) in the containing folder by Windows Explorer.
