Sometimes it's much more helpful to know all the information that a column has rather than all the information each book holds. This is especially helpful when needing a list of tags or column names when configuring other plugins.
The CLI can export specific columns with additional arguments (see Help)
Calibredb --list


But you can also use Generate Catalog (right click Convert)
The CSV/XML tab is where you select columns


Generate Catalog, respects the current view (VL or Query)
