Well i was a bit puzzled when I couldnt find an export db function (no client of mine can handle phpmyadmin etc). I spent about 8hrs (im not a coder!) and came up with a web form that exports selected vicidial tables to CSV format.
You can get the zip here -> http://www.vccs.ca/code/vicidial-export.zip
Hope it's of some use to someone!
