I'm trying to export a table from Google Cloud SQL into a CSV file using the gcloud sql export csv command from Gcloud SDK but I don't have the option to export on top of the file also the names of the columns. Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks
I believe that this command should produce the necessary functionality:
gcloud sql export csv instance_name gs://bucket_name/ --query="SELECT 'columnname1' , 'columnname2', 'columnname3' UNION SELECT columnname1, columnname2, columnname3 FROM table_name" --database=database_name
One downside of doing it this way is you have to specify all columns. If there is a large number of those, it might be better to write some script to write the SQL query part.
