The SQL Blob Viewer Professional Edition license includes a command line interface (SQLBlobViewerViewerCmd.exe) you can use to automate your export tasks.  To start off, first write and execute a query to retrieve the data set you want to export in the SQL Blob Viewer GUI.  Let’s say we want to export out customer details into an Excel spreadsheet.
On this page, you can define the stored values which is used to support incremental exports.  In this example, we’ll just use the same query every time to export the data into the spreadsheet.  Click on the Save to file... button to save the settings to disk.
How to automate your export tasks (Professional Edition required)
Set up your export settings according to your needs.  On the Summary page, click on the Save settings... button.
Once you’ve saved the settings, you can test the export by clicking on the Test settings button.  SQL Blob Viewer will use the saved settings file to run an export using the command line interface.

For the ‘Start in’ value, enter the SQL Blob Viewer folder name, but DO NOT enclose the value in double quotes.
