Export

You can export your entire Shard as a SQL file at any time. This creates a complete backup of all your tables, data, and schema that can be imported into any Postgres‑compatible database.

How to Export

1. Open Settings from the left sidebar
2. Click “Export Shard”
3. Choose a location to save the .sql file
4. Your export will download immediately

The exported SQL file contains all table definitions, indexes, and data from your Shard. You can use this file to:

• Back up your data for safekeeping
• Migrate to another database system
• Share your Shard structure with others
• Restore data after testing or development

What’s Included

The export includes:

• All table schemas (column names, types, constraints)
• All row data from every table
• Indexes and other database objects
• Postgres‑compatible SQL statements

Using Your Export

The exported .sql file can be imported into:

• Another Shard instance
• Postgres command‑line tools (for example: psql "$CONNECTION_URL" -f export.sql)
• Database management applications
• Any Postgres‑compatible system
