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, Email INTO [csv://Users.txt] FROM [Users] WHERE UserLogin = 'mojombo'

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, Email INTO [csv://Users.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Users] WHERE UserLogin = 'mojombo'

C#

String connectionString = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber";

using (GitHubConnection connection = new GitHubConnection(connectionString)) {
  GitHubCommand cmd = new GitHubCommand("SELECT Name, Email INTO [csv://Users.txt] FROM [Users] WHERE UserLogin = 'mojombo' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber" 

Using connection As New GitHubConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New GitHubCommand("SELECT Name, Email INTO [csv://Users.txt] FROM [Users] WHERE UserLogin = 'mojombo'", 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 = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber";

using (GitHubConnection connection = new GitHubConnection(connectionString)) {
  GitHubCommand cmd = new GitHubCommand("SELECT * INTO [Users] IN [csv://filename=c:/Users.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Users] WHERE UserLogin = 'mojombo'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber" 

Using connection As New GitHubConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New GitHubCommand("SELECT * INTO [Users] IN [csv://filename=c:/Users.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Users] WHERE UserLogin = 'mojombo'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
