Select Overwrite existing files if you want newer files to overwrite the existing ones with the same name
during export.
Next, specify the file naming options for the exported files. To do it, click File Naming Options… and
select the necessary options.
Click Next to proceed.
Select the file type (CSV, DBF, TXT, XLS, or XML) and adjust additional properties, for example, you
can change text encoding.
Click Next to proceed.
If images are exported together with data, configure the image export parameters (as described in the
Exporting Images section).
Enter a name for the export destination and click Finish.
3.1.6.2. Exporting to a database
To enable and configure export to a database, select Export to ODBC-compatible Database in the Type
field. Select the necessary options and click Next.
Enter a Connection string or click Setup Connection... and configure the necessary parameters in the
Data Link Properties dialog box. Then select a schema from the dropdown list.
To test connection to the database, click Test Connection.
Then, you will need to define the tables and table columns of the database the Document Description field
values will be exported to. To do it, click Setup Fields Mapping...
In the left part of the Field Mapping dialog box, you will see the document’s sections and fields. Match
the tables and database fields, located in the right part, to them. If the database already includes tables for
document export, select a database table for each section and a table column for each field. The table
column format must correspond to the value of the exported field.
If the database doesn’t have tables for document export, you can enable automatic database table creation
at first export. To do it, click Create Tables Automatically. The program will create tables with the
structure suitable for exporting. Table columns will be matched to document fields.
Field groups, fields with meultiple repetitions, document tables, and sections are exported to separate
database tables. The Primary and Foreign keys are used to link the the main table to subordinate tables. In
the main table, a primary key is added to each entry. In the subordinate table, each entry has a foreign key
that records the value of the primary key of the corresponding entry in the main table. The primary and
foreign keys are added automatically where required. You only need to specify the field to which the key
has to be exported.
The Show linked columns option is selected by default. If you clear it, the columns with configured
export will not be displayed in the right part of the tree.
Click Next to proceed to image export settings.
You can save images to a database or as files. If you save images as files, configure the image export
parameters as described in the Exporting images section.
Note. If you chose to save images to a database, a BLOB-type table will be created for them. If you
change image export later and choose to save them to a folder, an error will occur during export,
because the text path to the image file will be exported to the BLOB-type field.
