Hello Simon ! That's why I mentioned "would be a good idea to have the ".import" complement !
Why not have direct command ".export table_name" and internally it does all commands you mention in one go, simple and intuitively. If I saw an "import" command I also expected the "export" command, and it seems that I'm not alone.
