Data Export

NineData supports data export function, which can export data from your data source in various formats to your local computer for convenient data analysis and processing.

Feature Introduction

Use Cases

  • Data backup and migration: export data to the local computer for backup or to other platforms for migration.
  • Data analysis and reporting: export data in multiple formats for data analysis and report generation to better understand the data.
  • Data processing: export data to the local computer for processing to meet business requirements.

Precautions

In the commercial versions (, ), please ensure that your monthly/yearly subscription is not expired, as it may result in the inability to use the Database DevOpsservice. You can quickly check the remaining quota and expiration date at the top right corner of the NineData console page.
