If they're asking for all of the data in a particular db, you could create a backup and have them restore it. If it's not a lot of data or tables, you could do an export of the data to csv or excel.

I have someone that is requesting all the data in our database which includes several tables and some of the columns containing large strings of text. &nbsp;There is a research analyst that wants to look at the data so what would be the best way to present the data to them? &nbsp;In Excel? &nbsp;If so, how would I do that? &nbsp;Thanks for your help.

Exporting SQL database

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
