Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this:

run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done

This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it.

The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working.
I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below:

exporting data set

But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query

Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.

As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful").

Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus.

Please help me!

Thanks.

After some tests I realized that it is sourcing just the first line of the query. Since it contains only "Select" that is all dbeaver is exporting. Now I have to understand why this is happening

You don't need to use the clipboard, you can export directly the whole resultset (not just what you see) to a file :

The export runs in the background, a popup will appear when it's done.

The problem was the box "open new connection" that was checked. So I couldn't use my temporary table.

Is there a reason you couldn't select your results and right click and choose Advanced Copy -> Advanced Copy? I'm on a Mac and this is how I always copy results to the clipboard for pasting.

What if the result set is so large that the result view can't display all the records?

Do you get an out of memory exception? If you have a result set that large, copying it to the clipboard isn't a good idea and I'd suggest exporting it to CSV. When you export a result set, DBeaver exports the entire result of the query that was executed to populate the result set viewer, not just what is shown.

It's only about 40,000 records with 5 columns each. The RAM is enough to hold the data. However, DBeaver only shows 200 records by default. If I want all the data, I had to scroll down over and over again and that's annoying.

I do not think it is an elegant solution.
