Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automates the process of reading data from a specified table in a Microsoft SQL database and converting it into a CSV file. Users can export data simply by clicking the "Execute Workflow" button, facilitating subsequent actions such as email distribution, cloud storage upload, or local download.

Core Problems Addressed

Traditional data export processes often require manually writing SQL queries, exporting files, and saving them, which is cumbersome and prone to errors. This workflow streamlines the export operation by automating database connection and file conversion, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy.

Use Cases

  • Data analysts quickly retrieving business database table data for offline analysis
  • Business personnel regularly exporting key data such as sales and inventory for reporting
  • IT operations automating database table backups for archiving and data migration

Main Workflow Steps

  1. User manually triggers the workflow execution
  2. Specify the database table name to export (e.g., SalesLT.ProductCategory)
  3. Workflow executes an SQL query to load all data from the specified Microsoft SQL database table
  4. Convert the query results into CSV format and save the file, with the filename automatically linked to the table name

Involved Systems or Services

  • Microsoft SQL Server (data source)
  • n8n Automation Platform (workflow orchestration and node execution)
  • Local or cloud file storage (to save CSV files; users can extend with nodes for upload or email delivery)
