# Oracle - Export query result action
# Export query result
This action executes a SQL query and exports the results as a CSV file. The CSV file is uploaded to a local directory or a cloud storage like an S3 bucket.
If the CSV file is uploaded to a local directory, the query results are processed and stored locally. This means that your data never leaves your secure network.
