Local customizations
If you have created local customizations to your FPR, your list may be different. To generate a CSV file containing the same data, run the following sql statement:
select fg.description, f.description, fv.version, fv.pronom_id, fv.description into outfile '/tmp/preservation.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' from fpr_format f join fpr_formatversion fv on f.uuid = fv.format_id join fpr_formatgroup fg on f.group_id = fg.uuid where fv.preservation_format = 1;
