How to Export SQLite Database to Excel

Using SQLite Browser

To export a SQLite database to Excel, open SQLite Browser and use its export function. This method involves reading each table row, joining the columns with a semicolon, and saving as a CSV file, which Excel can open.

Using Python for Data Conversion

Utilize a Python program to convert your SQLite database into pandas dataframes. These dataframes can then be easily written to Excel, facilitating a seamless export process.

SQLite3 Command-Line Tool

The sqlite3 tool allows for exporting data to CSV. Activate the header with the ".header on" command, set CSV mode with ".mode csv", and direct output to a file using ".output data.csv". Combine these with the -header and -csv options for efficient export.

Using SQliteStudio

With SQliteStudio, take advantage of the export function to save data from a table or query result directly to a CSV file, ready for Excel to open.

Online Conversion with RebaseData

For a quick conversion, use the RebaseData online converter or Java tool to convert SQLite to Excel in just seconds. CURL is also an option for this conversion. RebaseData efficiently handles the process, creating xlsx files compatible with Excel.

Considerations for Large Databases

While the conversion typically takes mere seconds or minutes, large databases may require more time. Excel's row limit may necessitate dividing data across multiple files when dealing with extensive datasets.
