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, Owner INTO [csv://DataModels.txt] FROM [DataModels] WHERE Id = 'SampleDataset'

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, Owner INTO [csv://DataModels.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [DataModels] WHERE Id = 'SampleDataset'

C#

String connectionString = "user=MyUserName;password=MyPassword;URL=MyURL;";

using (SplunkConnection connection = new SplunkConnection(connectionString)) {
  SplunkCommand cmd = new SplunkCommand("SELECT Name, Owner INTO [csv://DataModels.txt] FROM [DataModels] WHERE Id = 'SampleDataset' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "user=MyUserName;password=MyPassword;URL=MyURL;" 

Using connection As New SplunkConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New SplunkCommand("SELECT Name, Owner INTO [csv://DataModels.txt] FROM [DataModels] WHERE Id = 'SampleDataset'", 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;URL=MyURL;";

using (SplunkConnection connection = new SplunkConnection(connectionString)) {
  SplunkCommand cmd = new SplunkCommand("SELECT * INTO [DataModels] IN [csv://filename=c:/DataModels.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [DataModels] WHERE Id = 'SampleDataset'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "user=MyUserName;password=MyPassword;URL=MyURL;" 

Using connection As New SplunkConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New SplunkCommand("SELECT * INTO [DataModels] IN [csv://filename=c:/DataModels.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [DataModels] WHERE Id = 'SampleDataset'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
