How to dump SQLite DB tables into separate CSV files

Create an .sql file instructing sqlite to export data to csv files with columns organized in particular order

# dump2csv.sql

.mode csv
.headers on

.output categories.csv
select id,name,parent_id,description,created_at,updated_at from categories;

.output items.csv
select id,name,category_id,description,created_at,updated_at from items;

.quit

then feed it into sqlite against your database

sqlite3 mydatabase.sqlite3 < dump2csv.sql
