Automate PostgreSQL Data Exports to CSV Effortlessly
detail.loadingPreview
Seamlessly extract data from your PostgreSQL database and export it to a CSV file with a single click. This workflow automates the process of retrieving specific table data and converting it into a downloadable CSV format.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow streamlines the process of getting data out of your PostgreSQL database and into a universally compatible CSV file. Designed for efficiency, it begins with a manual trigger, allowing you to initiate the export on demand. It then dynamically sets the table name you wish to query, followed by executing a SQL SELECT query against your PostgreSQL instance. The results are then transformed into a CSV file, ready for download or further processing. This eliminates manual data extraction, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors. Perfect for reporting, backups, or integrating with other tools.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Start the data export process with a simple click.
- Dynamic Table Selection: Easily specify which PostgreSQL table to export.
- PostgreSQL Integration: Connects directly to your PostgreSQL database.
- CSV Export: Outputs your data in a widely compatible CSV format.
- Automated Data Retrieval: Fetches data programmatically, reducing manual effort.
How To Use
- Manual Trigger: Click the "Execute Workflow" button to initiate the process.
- Set Table Name: In the "TableName" node, configure the
valuefield to the exact name of the PostgreSQL table you want to export (e.g.,users,orders). - Configure PostgreSQL: In the "Postgres" node, ensure your PostgreSQL credentials are set up and the
queryparameter correctly references theTableNamevariable (it is pre-configured as=SELECT * FROM {{ $json["TableName"] }}). - Spreadsheet File Output: The "Spreadsheet File" node is set to
toFilewithcsvformat. You can adjust options here if needed, but the default is usually sufficient for CSV output. The workflow will then generate and offer the CSV file for download.
