It's only intended to be used by the program itself. It's purely storage.

Ah so it's not really an export, it's just the backing store used by some other (locally-running) program that you're trying to reverse engineer?

In that case yeah an sqlite database is probably most appropriate, though I can see a CSV still being desirable to remove a potential sqlite dependency.
