Extract all records from a query

Hi,
Perhaps I am blind but I would like to know how to extract ALL the results from a query. I mean, I know the max rows shows the limit of the rows Visual Code is showing (to avoid memory/time consumption problems) but for instance, if we have a SQL query which has more than 1000 results, how can I export all the rows?
The CSV output only exports the lines shown in Visual Code, for example, in the previous example of a total of 1000 lines, it shows only 50, it will only export those 50 records.
Sorry if the question is very newbie.
Thanks and kind regards!

You will need to go into the settings and set Query>Result Set:Max Rows to either -1 or a number larger than the total number of rows. The MaxRows setting limits the number of rows returned to 500 by default. -1 means "no limit". However, please be aware that a large number of rows may take a long time to fetch. If you lose patience, there is a cancel button (a red square) in the results tab.

First of all, thanks for your fast reply.
One question, there is no way like in SQL Developer?
I mean, in SQL developer I do not need for the program in each SQL statement execution to fetch all the restults. It is only when I "export" the results into an excel file or CSV when the program fetch all the lines.
Behaviour in SQL Developer:
- I run a query and it fetches, for example, the first 50 records.
- I export the results into an excel/csv/json and it fetches all the results (1000).
In this way I am not "blocking" the program each time I execute a query but only for those moments when I want to export all the results.
Kind regards,
Endika.
