Exporting query results to other formats
Query results can be exported to a variety of formats including HTML, PDF, CSV, and XML.
Exporting query results differs from creating a report in a couple ways. First, there is no additional
information added to the output as you can do within a report; only the resulting data is included.
Also, more formats are supported. It is expected that exported query results could be used in further
processing, so machine-friendly formats such as XML and CSV are supported. Reports are designed to
be human readable, and as such are only output as PDF files.
Unlike query results in the console, exported data is not actionable.
