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 Name, TotalDue INTO [csv://Customer.txt] FROM [Customer] WHERE CustomerId = '12345'

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 Name, TotalDue INTO [csv://Customer.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Customer] WHERE CustomerId = '12345'

C#

String connectionString = "User='myusername';Password='mypassword';Server='http://couchbase40'";

using (CouchbaseConnection connection = new CouchbaseConnection(connectionString)) {
  CouchbaseCommand cmd = new CouchbaseCommand("SELECT Name, TotalDue INTO [csv://Customer.txt] FROM [Customer] WHERE CustomerId = '12345' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "User='myusername';Password='mypassword';Server='http://couchbase40'" 

Using connection As New CouchbaseConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New CouchbaseCommand("SELECT Name, TotalDue INTO [csv://Customer.txt] FROM [Customer] WHERE CustomerId = '12345'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using

You can specify other file formats in the URI. The following example exports tab-separated values:

C#

String connectionString = "User='myusername';Password='mypassword';Server='http://couchbase40'";

using (CouchbaseConnection connection = new CouchbaseConnection(connectionString)) {
  CouchbaseCommand cmd = new CouchbaseCommand("SELECT * INTO [Customer] IN [csv://filename=c:/Customer.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Customer] WHERE CustomerId = '12345'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "User='myusername';Password='mypassword';Server='http://couchbase40'" 

Using connection As New CouchbaseConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New CouchbaseCommand("SELECT * INTO [Customer] IN [csv://filename=c:/Customer.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Customer] WHERE CustomerId = '12345'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
