November 3, 2026 \u2014 Withdata Software announces DBToFile 3.1<\/a><\/strong>, a cross-platform desktop tool for exporting databases to files. This release adds a complete command line, a table filter above the database tree, quicker access to saved tasks, and more reliable file output.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s New in DBToFile 3.1<\/h2>\n

1. A Complete Command Line for Export Jobs<\/h3>\n

One command exports a table or a query result to a file, without saving a session first. Dry runs show what would be written, a run can be repeated from a pipeline, and a batch file or scheduled task gets a non-zero exit code when an export fails, so a broken job no longer looks like a clean one.<\/p>\n

2. Table Filter and Saved Tasks<\/h3>\n

A filter above the database tree finds a table quickly in databases with hundreds of them. The Start Task dialog now shows saved sessions as quick buttons, so a repeated export is one click away.<\/p>\n

3. Native Linux Support<\/h3>\n

The Linux build now uses GTK3 and ships as native packages for common distributions, alongside the existing Windows and macOS builds. Exporting works the same way on all three platforms.<\/p>\n

4. More Reliable File Output<\/h3>\n

CSV files keep quoted values and line breaks intact, JSON writes proper true\/false values, binary columns are written as base64, and the separator is taken from the output format. Excel sheet names are made valid automatically, fixed-width columns are sized per file, and a destination that cannot be written says so instead of failing silently.<\/p>\n
