I have a sql database in which i want to export some tables in CSV format. Users and purchases.
By using phpmyadmin, > Export function i've successfully exported all data in table but there are no headers (column title) in the excel sheet and its very confusing to determine data retrieved from that table.
its look like this:
And i need it like this:
Any suggestion how to do this?
This works for me. What version of phpmyadmin do you have?
Under Browse, click on the table you want to export.
At the bottom, in the Query results operations section, click on Export.
In Export method, choose Custom.
Change Format to CSV for MS Excel.
Under Format-specific options, check Put columns names in the first row.
Click on the export button
Export method custom
Format CSV
Format-specific options: Put columns names in the first row ( Select this checkbox)

I want to export to Excel from MySQL DB. How can I filter the data before I export it to excel?
Before exporting I need to give some inputs to filter the data from DB that should be exported. How can I accomplish that?
In phpMyAdmin, open your table (assuming you just want data from this table) and use Search to indicate on what you want to filter. When you have the desired results on-screen, use the "Query results operations" panel to click on Export, then choose the CSV for MS Excel format.
I have data in excel sheet (CSV format) and I have imported this data into Mysql and filtered the data based on dates (only 2014 and 2015) years have been selected.
The client wants data back in excel. So, I have to import the data which I had extracted based on dates into excel. I believe this would be a temporary table. So, how do we import the temporary tables to excel.
I don't know how to use mysql to excel converter in this case, as the temporary table is being used.
Here is a software by MySQL to handle that

MySQL for Excel makes the task of getting MySQL data into Excel a very
easy one; there are no intermediate CSV files required, only a couple
of clicks and data will be imported to Excel. MySQL for Excel supports
importing data from tables, views and stored procedures.
The easiest way of doing this could be as follows
select <fieldnames>
from <temporary table>
Then copy and paste the results into excel. save as excel format, and voila!
Edit: if you are using a tool like phpMyamin, you can just export the results of your query into the desired format. If you want the headers, choose "include column names" in the advanced" export.
If you just need a document that opens in excel you could export the tables as a CSV file from mysql.

If you have to actually create an excel worksheet then you would have to use a library based on what programming language you are using to convert the data to an excel spreadsheet.
I already know how to export the whole database, but how do you export selected rows?
Say I need to export data from this queries: select * from users where gender="0"; How do you do turn them into a dump file?
Easy way to do that:
Execute your query. In your case select * from users where gender="0";
In result section you will find File: option. There you will get Export record set to an external file. Click here and save your file in your desired extension.
Thats all.
I have a problem in exporting data from Microsoft Access. I have an Access file made of several rows and columns, like this:
Every row contains a subset of data, that could be observed by clicking on the "+" button:
I would like to export all these data (main table & subsets), but there's a problem.
When I click on External Data -> Export -> Text file, Ms Access exports only the main table data (1st Figure), and completely omits the data of the subsets (2nd Figure).
How could I export all these data (main table & subsets)?
Thanks
Create a query denormalizing the data you want the way you want, then export that to Excel.
I already have a table in phpmyadmin that contains users records. Each user has a unique admission number. I now want to add a new column to this table and was wondering how I can import data for this new column using just the admission number and new data.
Is this possible? I have a CSV but can't work out the best way to import the data without overwriting any existing records.
Thanks.
As far as I can see, this is not possible. phpMyAdmin's import features are for whole rows only.
You could write a small PHP script that opens the CSV file using fgetcsv(), walks through every line and creates a UPDATE statement for each record:
UPDATE tablename SET new_column = "new_value" WHERE admission_number = "number"
you can then either output and copy+paste the commands, or execute them directly in the script.
If you want to do it using just CSV, here are the steps you could perform.
In a text editor, make a comma separated list of all the column names for the final table (including your new column). This will be useful for importing the new data.
Add the new column to your table using phpmyadmin
Export current table in csv format and sort by admission number in Excel
In your new data CSV, sort by admission number
Copy the column over from your new data to your exported CSV and save for re-import.
Backup your users table (export to CSV)
Truncate the contents of your table (Operations, Truncate)
Import your updated CSV
Optional / Recommended: When you import CSV into phpmyadmin, use the column names option to specify the columns you are using, separated by commas (no spaces).
Assumptions:
1. You are using Spreadsheet such as Excel / OpenOffice to open your csv files.
Any problems?
Truncate the table again and import the sql backup file.
