SQLite to CSV — Quick Facts

  • About this database: SQLite is a single file with no date type - dates are stored as TEXT.
  • Default port: (file-based)
  • Identifier quoting: "double quotes" or [brackets]
  • Row limit syntax: LIMIT n
  • Date / time types: TEXT (no date type)
  • Large text type: TEXT
  • Binary type: BLOB
  • Command-line equivalent: sqlite3 .dump

Common Pitfalls When Exporting SQLite to CSV

  • A comma inside a value forces quoting - fields holding commas, double quotes or line breaks must be wrapped in quotes.
  • Excel reads UTF-8 CSV as ANSI unless the file starts with a BOM, so add the BOM when a spreadsheet is the target.
  • CRLF and LF are both valid row separators - pick one and stay consistent or row counts differ between tools.
  • SQLite has no date type, so the exact text that was stored is what lands in the output.
  • Dynamic typing means one column can hold numbers on some rows and text on others.
