The problem it solves

Getting data out of a database and into a shareable format usually means running a query, exporting the results, and reformatting them by hand. It's a small but repetitive task whenever you need to hand data off to another tool or person. You just want the file, not the steps to make it.

Who it fits

A business with a PostgreSQL database that regularly needs to share data with other tools or people.

How it works

  1. You start the export whenever you need current data
  2. The system connects to your PostgreSQL database and runs the query
  3. The results are formatted for sharing
  4. You receive a ready-to-use CSV file
What you get

Data files ready the moment you need them

Your PostgreSQL data turns into a ready-to-use CSV file with a single click, so you can share or import it wherever needed.

What you get

A CSV file containing the requested database data, ready to open or import anywhere.

What you need

Access to a PostgreSQL database server.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
