Hi I have databases of 5000 plus users.
I may create a filter and then have a list of 2000 users that i need to export.
I have a difficulty with the system understandably crashing when i try to list and select all 2000 users > Export CSV
Can you suggest another way apart from using phpmyadmin?
Could CB not simply export the filtered list without having to "select all" then export?
Fabrik has this type of functionality on very large lists and it works well.

Processing 2000 users at once is too many to loop through for your server if it's crashing. Do smaller exports then merge the CSV files externally. Alternatively consider directly pulling data from the database using phpmyadmin.

Fabrik has this type of functionality on very large lists and it works well.

Fabrik isn't building user objects, processing the field data, and outputting it so of course it works fine since it's just doing a database dump which you can do in phpmyadmin for CB if you wanted.
