Enter custom SQL queries (e.g., SELECT * FROM employees) and preview the first 20 rows
Apply the same TXT formatting options as table exports
Fast export of filtered/sorted SQLite data directly to TXT
Combine data from multiple structurally similar SQLite tables into a single TXT file for unified analysis. 📷
Select multiple similar tables from your SQLite database in one click
Standardize column mapping and formatting across all selected tables
Merge data into a single TXT file with consistent delimiters and encoding
Bulk-export all or selected SQLite tables to individual TXT files (one file per table) for efficient data distribution. 📷
Select multiple dissimilar/similar tables for batch processing
Set a single output folder for all TXT files
Apply global formatting rules to the entire batch
Automatically generate TXT files with table-named filenames
Create TXT files with auto-generated filenames including current date/time —ideal for scheduled backups and time-stamped data exports. 📷
Filename template variables: #yyyy# (year), #mm# (month), #dd# (day), #hh# (hour), #mi# (minute), #ss# (second)
Example: employees_#yyyy#_#mm#_#dd#.txt → employees_2026_01_01.txt

SQLite to TXT — 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 nDate / time types: TEXT (no date type)Large text type: TEXTBinary type: BLOBCommand-line equivalent: sqlite3 .dump
Common Pitfalls When Exporting SQLite to TXT
TXT has no fixed rule, so the delimiter or the fixed-width layout has to be defined before the export.
Fixed-width output needs a column width spec, and truncation is silent when a value is too long.
Line endings matter for legacy targets, which often accept CRLF only.
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.
