6.5.1 Table Data Export and Import Wizard

This wizard supports import and export operations using CSV and JSON files, and includes several configuration options (separators, column selection, encoding selection, and more). The wizard can be performed against local or remotely connected MySQL servers, and the import action includes table, column, and type mapping.

Note

This wizard only exports/imports tables using the JSON or CSV format. For an overview of the data export and import options in MySQL Workbench, see Section 6.5, “Data Export and Import”.

The wizard is accessible from the object browser's context menu by right-clicking on a table and choose either Table Data Export Wizard or Table Data Import Wizard, as the next figure shows.
