Re: How to export whole SQL database to MS Excel Workbook

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I don't have a lot of database experience, but for most of the
ones I have worked with, the "entire database" would be a
useless jumble of data unless it was sorted into reports, i.e.,
"tables."  What you would need to do is generate a report
whose parameters are wide enough to include all the 
database entries by selecting all possible sorting categories
and setting all the value ranges wide enough to include all
database entries.  Then you would export that table to your 
spreadsheet.
