gcloud sql export sql - exports data from a Cloud SQL instance to a SQL file

gcloud sql export sql INSTANCE URI [--async] [--clean] [--database=DATABASE,[DATABASE,…], -d DATABASE,[DATABASE,…]] [--if-exists] [--offload] [--parallel] [--table=TABLE,[TABLE,…], -t TABLE,[TABLE,…]] [--threads=THREADS] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

NOTE: Certain roles and permissions are required to export data to Google Cloud Storage. For more information on exporting data from Google Cloud SQL see Export from Cloud SQL to a SQL dump file.

INSTANCE

Cloud SQL instance ID.

URI

The path to the file in Google Cloud Storage where the export will be stored. The URI is in the form gs://bucketName/fileName. If the file already exists, the operation fails. If the filename ends with .gz, the contents are compressed.

--async

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

--clean

Include SQL statements (DROP <object>) required to drop database objects prior to import; corresponds to the clean flag for pg_dump. Only applies to PostgreSQL non-parallel exports.

--database=DATABASE,[DATABASE,…], -d DATABASE,[DATABASE,…]

Database(s) from which the export is made. Information on requirements can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api/v1beta4/instances/export#exportContext.databases

--if-exists

Include an SQL statement (IF EXISTS) with each drop statement produced by the clean flag; corresponds to the if-exists flag for pg_dump. Only applies to PostgreSQL non-parallel exports.

--offload

Offload an export to a temporary instance. Doing so reduces strain on source instances and allows other operations to be performed while the export is in progress.

--parallel

Perform a parallel export. This flag is only applicable to MySQL and Postgres.

--table=TABLE,[TABLE,…], -t TABLE,[TABLE,…]

Tables to export from the specified database. If you specify tables, specify one and only one database. For PostgreSQL instances, only one table can be exported at a time.

--threads=THREADS

Specifies the number of threads to use for the parallel export. If --parallel is specified and this flag is not provided, Cloud SQL uses a default thread count to optimize performance.
