Description:
Export / import buttons in the table view are not working for json, csv (comma delimited) and sql files.

CSV: after exporting to CSV file and reimporting that file, execution fails saying 'list index out of range'

JSON: after exporting to JSON and reimporting that file, all fields are detected properly, and execution "runs" but it imports 0 rows (also says imported 0 rows)

SQL: exporting to SQL requires entering a table name (which is correctly prefilled with the name of the table you're exporting from). But when opening that exported file, all statements begin with "INERT INTO `` ( ...)"; it seems that these "``" should have the table name requested while exporting but it turns out they are just empty, making the exported file useless (read need to do replace INSERT INTO `` with INERT INTO `actual table name` on the whole file before trying to run the statements)

How to repeat:
- create two same tables with different names
- fill fist table with some data
- open a tab and do `select * from first_table`
- click on export button
- select JSON / CSV / SQL
-- SQL: observe the exported file contents (missing table name within the INSERT INTO `` statements)
-- JSON: try to import it to the second table, execution is fine but nothing is imported
-- CSV: try to import it to the second table, execution should fail (at lest for fields containing text with with several new lines)

Empty table name when exporting to SQL still present in version 8.0.18.

Hope it gets corrected soon.

Affects me on MacOS as well.

Still exists in 8.0.21

Are you kidding me? This bug still exists in version 8.0.28 and makes insert statements still unusable when you export recordsets...

How can an index out-of-bounds bug not be fixed 3 years later?

I got this error running the standard setup script for the employee database and opened the specific bug around that: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=108681

But I think it's the same bug.

So disappointing to find out that bugs are not taken seriously.
