How to export a space using SQL query

[Mark Bereznitsky]

We do not recommend exporting a space via a SQL dump. Please use the built in XML exporter which will pull in all the required entities along with the dump.

If you need to migrate a larger site and are encountering errors during the export, please contact support, they are well versed in those sort of problems.

Thanks again for using Confluence!

You can "export" a space by cross referencing the bodycontent, space and content tables.  It will be utterly useless to you though, as you'll lose the metadata that makes it into a space, can't be used to create another Confluence space and leave you with the internal markup rather than useful content, and you'll lose all the structure

SQL is the worst possible thing you can do here.  You really need to use the XML, HTML and PDF methods if you want usable output.

Hello @Hayath Khan K ,

Confluence's spatial export is based on XML, HTML and PDF. I don't understand what you mean by SQL querie.
