Export collection with photos

Hello,

I'm trying to export one of the collections that stores photos (base64). I have the following questions:

  1. Is there a way to export particular collection instead of having to dumb the entire DB every time (currently it's 1GB file and growing).

  2. Even when I dumb the entire DB as CSV files, when I open the photos file using excel, it is corrupted. It has inconsistent tools. Even when I try to use some other tools to import (e.g. I used SQL Developer to import CSV files into Oracle table), the tool returns message that the file is corrupted.

  3. Is there a way to exclude the photos column from that collection. I'm interested in other data. But this column seems is what causes all the problem, as other collections I can export/import easily.

    Thank you for your help

Export collection with photos

Hello,

Unfortunatelly there are no such functionality. You have to export full collection, or read it particulary with REST requests. Also you can convert all base64 images into files with custom code
