One of the most popular file format used by iOS Apps is SQLite. iBackup Viewer brings a built-in simple SQLite browser, which makes it easy to browse and save data to CSV file.

Advanced Query with SQL

You can use SQL to create query clauses to get more complicate and efficient results, if you're familiar with SQLite. For example, if we only want to output four columns of the visit history to CSV file, Z_PK, ZVISITCOUNT, ZHOSTNAME, ZTITLE, and we want only 2 of the results. Click the button "Execute SQL" and enter :

select Z_PK, ZVISITCOUNT, ZHOSTNAME, ZTITLE from ZDBSIte limit 2 

Notice that the table name and column names are case insensitive here. Click the button "Export" will get:
