Recommendation for database conversion software? (SQL -> CSV, VCF-> CSV)

by Paul Myers

Does anyone have a recommendation for a stable program for reading sql databases and exporting selected fields to a CSV database or spreadsheet?

Same question, but for VCF files. Ideally, I'd like something that can convert both ways for those. VCF to CSV and vice versa.

    Microsoft SQL Management Studio 2012 will convert all or select SQL tables to .CSV. It is free from Microsoft and there is a wizard to help if you need it.
    Download Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express from Official Microsoft Download Center
    Not sure about VCF.

    Thank you, sir!

    I found one for converting VCF to CSV. It's a hosted script that Thomas pointed me to. It's available to install on your own server if you prefer not to ship your cellphone contact list through someone else's system.

    You may need to tinker with the separator to get a properly formatted CSV file, but that's the only issue I ran into.

    Thanks, Farish. Handy to know. I can just copy the VCF file to the Mac, or use the converter upthread. Nice to have options.

    The Windows thing looks like it will do what I want with the SQL file, but it's pretty big for the purpose. Fortunately, this isn't an immediate need. I mostly want something to use for regular backups, and I have the databases already.
