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://Channels.txt] FROM [Channels] WHERE IsPublic = '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://Channels.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Channels] WHERE IsPublic = 'True'
C#
String connectionString = ""; using (SlackConnection connection = new SlackConnection(connectionString)) { SlackCommand cmd = new SlackCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Channels.txt] FROM [Channels] WHERE IsPublic = 'True' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "" Using connection As New SlackConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SlackCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Channels.txt] FROM [Channels] WHERE IsPublic = '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 = ""; using (SlackConnection connection = new SlackConnection(connectionString)) { SlackCommand cmd = new SlackCommand("SELECT * INTO [Channels] IN [csv://filename=c:/Channels.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Channels] WHERE IsPublic = 'True'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "" Using connection As New SlackConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SlackCommand("SELECT * INTO [Channels] IN [csv://filename=c:/Channels.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Channels] WHERE IsPublic = 'True'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
