Exporting
You can export data using Base into four formats:
The schema and contents (both optional) of the selected tables will be exported as SQL statements in a plain text file. This file is suitable for importing back into another SQL database or most other database formats
The contents of the selected table are exported to a text file, with each column value being separated by a specified string. This format is often known as csv (comma separated values).
The contents of the selected table will be exported to an XML file. The name of each column will be used as the tag for that rows value.
Example:
<language> <id>1</id> <code>en</code> <name>English</name> </language>
This option will export data from the selected table into a SYLK (.slk) file. SYLK is a format for sharing spreadsheets and is readable by programs including Excel, OpenOffice.org and Gnumeric.
