gcloud sql export csv INSTANCE URI --query=QUERY [--async] [--database=DATABASE,[DATABASE,...], -d DATABASE,[DATABASE,...]] [--escape=ESCAPE] [--fields-terminated-by=FIELDS_TERMINATED_BY] [--lines-terminated-by=LINES_TERMINATED_BY] [--offload] [--quote=QUOTE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
Exports data from a Cloud SQL instance to a Google Cloud Storage bucket as a plain text file with one line per row and comma-separated fields.
- INSTANCE
Cloud SQL instance ID.
- URI
The path to the file in Google Cloud Storage where the export will be stored. The URI is in the form gs://bucketName/fileName. If the file already exists, the operation fails. If the filename ends with .gz, the contents are compressed.
- --query=QUERY
A SQL SELECT query (e.g., SELECT * FROM table) that specifies the data to export.
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --database=DATABASE,[DATABASE,...], -d DATABASE,[DATABASE,...]
Database(s) from which the export is made. Information on requirements can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api/v1beta4/instances/export#exportContext.databases
- --escape=ESCAPE
Specifies the character that should appear before a data character that needs to be escaped. The value of this argument has to be a character in Hex ASCII Code. For example, "22" represents double quotes. This flag is only available for MySQL and Postgres. If this flag is not provided, double quotes character will be used as the default value.
- --fields-terminated-by=FIELDS_TERMINATED_BY
Specifies the character that splits column values. The value of this argument has to be a character in Hex ASCII Code. For example, "2C" represents a comma. This flag is only available for MySQL and Postgres. If this flag is not provided, a comma character will be used as the default value.
- --lines-terminated-by=LINES_TERMINATED_BY
Specifies the character that split line records. The value of this argument has to be a character in Hex ASCII Code. For example, "0A" represents a new line. This flag is only available for MySQL. If this flag is not provided, a new line character will be used as the default value.
- --offload
Offload an export to a temporary instance. Doing so reduces strain on source instances and allows other operations to be performed while the export is in progress.
- --quote=QUOTE
Specifies the character that encloses values from columns that have string data type. The value of this argument has to be a character in Hex ASCII Code. For example, "22" represents double quotes. This flag is only available for MySQL and Postgres. If this flag is not provided, double quotes character will be used as the default value.
