SELECT INTO Statements
You can use the SELECT INTO statement to export formatted data to a file.
Data Export with an SQL Query
The following query exports data into a file formatted in comma-separated values (CSV):
SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Sheet_Test_Sheet.txt] FROM [Sheet_Test_Sheet] WHERE Favorite = 'True'You can specify other formats in the file URI. The possible delimiters are tab, semicolon, and comma with the default being a comma. The following example exports tab-separated values:
SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Sheet_Test_Sheet.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Sheet_Test_Sheet] WHERE Favorite = 'True'
C#
String connectionString = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;"; using (SmartsheetConnection connection = new SmartsheetConnection(connectionString)) { SmartsheetCommand cmd = new SmartsheetCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Sheet_Test_Sheet.txt] FROM [Sheet_Test_Sheet] WHERE Favorite = 'True' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;" Using connection As New SmartsheetConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SmartsheetCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Sheet_Test_Sheet.txt] FROM [Sheet_Test_Sheet] WHERE Favorite = 'True'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End UsingYou can specify other file formats in the URI. The following example exports tab-separated values:
C#
String connectionString = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;"; using (SmartsheetConnection connection = new SmartsheetConnection(connectionString)) { SmartsheetCommand cmd = new SmartsheetCommand("SELECT * INTO [Sheet_Test_Sheet] IN [csv://filename=c:/Sheet_Test_Sheet.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Sheet_Test_Sheet] WHERE Favorite = 'True'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;" Using connection As New SmartsheetConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SmartsheetCommand("SELECT * INTO [Sheet_Test_Sheet] IN [csv://filename=c:/Sheet_Test_Sheet.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Sheet_Test_Sheet] WHERE Favorite = 'True'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
