Thank you. The second option worked for me very easily -- going to 
the page that lists the table's content and choosing export. The 
first option -- choosing download within the sql page -- did not, my 
computer just ground away at the download stage for a very long time. 
I don't know if this is a problem with safari or if I misunderstood 
something, but in any case the second option worked very easily.
