Export from PostgreSQL to Google Sheets

You can use Awesome Table Connectors to export from PostgreSQL to Google Sheets. Exporting to Google Sheets via Awesome Table Connectors allows you to access raw data, schedule refresh to get regular updates, and configure your output sheet's layout, among other features.

This article demonstrates how to use Awesome Table Connectors to get specific columns from a PostgreSQL table and export it to Google Sheets. You can use your own database and follow along.

  3. (Optional) In the Output options, configure how your data will be inserted into your spreadsheet.
