Query & Results

Clipboard & Export

Copy or export results in exactly the shape you need — value lists, TSV, CSV, JSON, SQL INSERT, Markdown.

The Clipboard Is the Export (for Results)

For query results, the grid selection is the export. Select what you need and copy; the format adapts to what you selected:

SelectionShortcutClipboard contents
One columnCtrl+CPlain value list, one per line
Several columnsCtrl+CTSV with a header row by default — pastes straight into Excel or Google Sheets; CSV, JSON or SQL INSERT if you say so in Options → Results → Export & Copy
RowsCtrl+Shift+CThe selected rows as JSON
Whole tableCtrl+A, then Ctrl+CEverything, spreadsheet-ready
One cellDouble-clickJust that value

How to: get query results into Excel

  1. Run your query and click the first column header you want
  2. Ctrl+Click any additional headers — selected columns highlight
  3. Press Ctrl+C, switch to Excel or Google Sheets, and paste — columns and the header row land in separate cells
  4. For the whole table: click any cell, press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C

How to: turn results into a WHERE ... IN clause

  1. Select the cells or the column with the values you need
  2. Right-click the selection and choose SQL IN list
  3. Paste into your query — values arrive quoted correctly per type, e.g. ('a', 'b', 'c')

Right-Click Formats

The context menu adds formats for specific destinations:

  • SQL IN list — selected values as ('a', 'b', 'c'), quoted correctly per type, ready to paste into a WHERE ... IN
  • SQL INSERT — one INSERT INTO "table" (...) VALUES (...) per row, named after the table the result came from
  • CSV — with the delimiter and quote from your settings
  • Markdown table — for docs, tickets and pull requests

Copy & Export Defaults

Options → Results → Export & Copy decides the shape once, so you stop reformatting after every paste:

SettingDefaultChoices
Ctrl+C on several columnsTSVTSV, CSV, JSON, SQL INSERT
CSV delimiter and quote, and "comma, semicolon (Excel in most of Europe), tab; double or single quote
Header rowonon / off
JSON indent2 spaces2, 4, one line — also for the collection export below
Byte-order mark on CSV/TSV filesonon / off — Excel needs it to read ä as ä

One column always copies as a plain list, whatever the format, because that is what pastes into an IN (...). A field is quoted only when it holds the delimiter, the quote or a line break.

Export a Result to a File

The Export button in the results toolbar writes the table — the selection when you have one — to a CSV, TSV, JSON or SQL file through the normal save dialog, in the same shape the clipboard would get. JSON and SQL never carry a byte-order mark.

Export or Import a Whole Collection (MongoDB)

For moving entire MongoDB collections, right-click the collection in the sidebar:

  • Export to JSON — writes the whole collection to a file via a native save dialog, streamed so large collections don't exhaust memory
  • Import from JSON — loads documents from a JSON file into the collection

Connection URIs

Connections move in and out as URIs. Paste any of the five schemes (mongodb://, mongodb+srv://, postgresql://, mssql://, aerospike://, clickhouse://) into the Import URI field to fill the connection form; the Export URI field shows the reverse. See Connection URIs.

Snippets & History

Saved snippets and every entry in your query history can be copied or re-inserted into the editor — your queries are never locked in.

Where Your Data Lives

Snippets, history, workspaces and settings are stored locally in a SQLite database under %APPDATA%/sutido. Nothing is synced to any cloud.

Tip: For bulk data loading, each engine's native tooling (e.g. mongoimport, COPY, clickhouse-client) is the right tool — Sutido is where you explore, verify and fix the data afterwards.
