If you don't want the data preserved in this way, you may supply argument ``--skip-archive``. +Export the purged records from the archive tables +------------------------------------------------- +The ``db export-cleaned`` command exports the contents of the archived tables, created by the ``db clean`` command, +to a specified format, by default to a CSV file. The exported file will contain the records that were purged from the +primary tables during the ``db clean`` process. + +You can specify the export format using ``--export-format`` option. The default format is csv. Review Comment: Let me rephrase, as I have the same question (I think). ``export-format`` isn't required, but also has no default. So you must pass `csv`, and it's also the only option. I think having `csv` be the actual default is okay, but we need to mark it as such (then we wouldn't need to mark it as required). We should also list out the valid options here, which is only csv today. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
