Parquet Export
To export the data from a table to a Parquet file, use the `COPY` statement:  
```sql
COPY tbl TO 'output.parquet' (FORMAT PARQUET);
```  
The result of queries can also be directly exported to a Parquet file:  
```sql
COPY (SELECT * FROM tbl) TO 'output.parquet' (FORMAT PARQUET);
```  
The flags for setting compression, row group size, etc. are listed in the [Reading and Writing Parquet files](#docs:data:parquet:overview) page.
