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):

boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT Browser, DeviceCategory INTO "csv://c:/Traffic.txt" FROM "Traffic" WHERE Transactions > '0'");
System.out.println(stat.getUpdateCount()+" rows affected");

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

Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT * INTO "Traffic" IN 'csv://filename=c:/Traffic.csv;delimiter=tab' FROM "Traffic" WHERE Transactions > '0'");
System.out.println(stat.getUpdateCount()+" rows affected");
