2.1.2 Step 1 - Setting connection options
At this step you should specify necessary settings to establish connection to the source
MySQL database.

Connection settings

First select the connection type: local or remote.
Local connection is used to connect to MySQL server launched on the same machine
where Data Export 2010 for MySQL is running.
The Remote mode allows you to connect to MySQL server launched on another computer
in the network.

By default the program uses local connection. It is indicated by switch Local selected. If
you wish to establish remote connection, you should select the Remote switch. For
remote connection you should also enter MySQL host name in the Host field. The Host
drop-down list contains the list of already registered hosts. For both types you should
enter MySQL port to connect through in the Connection port field.

Afterwards you should specify authorization settings: Login and Password.
The default superuser name is 'root' and the default password is empty.

If necessary, use the drop-down list to specify the preferable Client charset to be used
by the application.



Tunneling settings

To setup the connection via SSH tunnel, input the following values in the corresponding
fields:
SSH host name is the name of the host where SSH server is running
SSH port indicates the port where SSH server is activated
SSH user name stands for the user on the machine where SSH server is running
(Note: it is a Linux/Windows user, not a user of MySQL server)
SSH password is the Linux/Windows user password

For details see SSH tunneling options 119 .

To use HTTP tunneling, just upload the tunneling script to the webserver where MySQL
server is located, or to any other webserver from which direct connections to your MySQL
server are allowed. This script exposes the MySQL API as a set of web-services which is
used by Data Export 2010 for MySQL.

Note that the emsproxy.php script file is included into the distribution package and can
be found in Data Export installation directory.

For details see HTTP tunneling options 120 .

When you are done, press the Next button to proceed to the next step 37 .



2.1.3 Step 2 - Selecting tables
This step of the wizard allows you to select tables of the specified database to be
exported.

First you should select a database from the Select Database drop-down list at the top
of the window.
To select a table, you need to move it from the Available Tables list to the Selected

Tables list. Use the buttons or drag-and-drop operations to move
the tables from one list to another.l

You need to Select Destination Directory, where the exported file(s) will be stored.

Hint: To select multiple tables, hold down the Shift or Ctrl key while selecting the table
names.

Note: You can repeat the steps above with other databases to export data from multiple
databases simultaneously.




2.1.4 Step 3 - Specifying queries
This step allows you to add queries the results of which will be exported.

First you should select a database from the Select Database drop-down list at the top
of the window.

To add a query, use the Add Query button, or right-click within the Queries list
and select the Add Query context menu item. You can enter SQL text for each query
directly using the Query Text editor area or load an existing query from an external *.sql
file by pressing the Load Query button. While inputting query text, it is also possible to
save your queries by clicking the Save Query button or clear the content of the editor
by clicking the Clear Query button.

To rename a query, right-click it in the Queries list and select the Rename Query
context menu item.

To delete a query, select it in the Queries list and press the Remove Query
button, or right-click the query and select the Remove Query context menu item.

To delete all queries (i.e. empty the Queries list), click the Clear All button, or
right-click within the Queries list and select the Remove All Queries context menu item.

NOTE: If none of the tables was selected at the previous step, the Next button will be



enabled only when the query is added.




2.1.5 Step 4 - Selecting export data format
At this step you should select the destination format for exporting data.

Select a table 37 or query 38 in the Exported Objects list and set the appropriate option
to select one of available output data formats: MS Excel, MS Access, MS Word, RTF,
HTML, PDF, TXT, CSV, DIF, SYLK, LaTeX, XML, DBF, SQL, Clipboard, ODS, ODT, MS Excel
2007, MS Word 2007. For details refer to Supported file formats 124 .

Hint: If more convenient, you can check the Apply to all exported objects box to
set the specified destination format for all exported objects.




2.1.6 Step 5 - Selecting fields to export
At this step you can select fields to export and reorder them, if necessary.

By default all table fields are exported. Look through the list of exported objects and
mark/unmark the fields that should be / should not be exported: type in True or 1 (False
or 0 (zero)) in the Is Exported column.

You may also click the Check all link below to export all fields of the table, or the
Uncheck all label to exclude all fields of the table from export. You can also change the
order of exported fields by selecting them and clicking the Move Up and Move

Down buttons.

Hint: If more convenient, you can check the Export all fields of all tables box to
select all fields of all specified tables and queries for export.
