How to convert CouchDB into CSV files

Question

I have CouchDB database in my local server, and the data are being updated in hourly bases.

how can I export data from CouchDB to CSV files? what is the best practice to do this?

if there is no direct method to do this easily, I want to implement this using PHP.

You should have a look into the Couchdb List function:

Using the CouchDB(1.6.1) List function to output to a csv file

Please be aware that the list function is proposed for deprecation in future Couchdb releases. https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1534
