FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Export SQL to Excel:

What database access does this need?

You provide a read-only connection and access to the database's row-based binary log. You also choose the reporting table.

Can I choose which rows go into Excel?

You provide the SQL query and column headings. You can also set the row order. The workbook contains every row the query returns.

What if the query returns no rows or fails?

Your preparer gets a headings-only workbook when the query returns no rows. If the query fails, the preparer gets an error instead of an older file.

What if the results exceed one Excel worksheet?

Your preparer gets all returned rows across labeled worksheets. The export splits the results at Excel's worksheet row limit.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
