Content Grabber can export extracted web data as a report or to numerous different database types. Data output options include CSV, Excel, XML, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and OleDB.
You can also use a Content Grabber export script to completely customize the data export to your own database structures. This is useful when you want the data updates to be dynamically reflected such as an online website / portal.
Content Grabber can export data to Excel 2003+ and take advantage of features in Excel 2007+ such as outlining and embedded images.
Data is exported automatically to your chosen export destination when a data extraction project completes, so you don't have to export data manually. However, you can always export extracted data manually at any time to any export destination.
The following steps show how easy it is to choose the data export type you want to use.
1.We start by clicking on Content Grabber's Data menu and then clicking the Change Export Target button.
