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 Country, Education INTO [csv://[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer.txt] FROM [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'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 Country, Education INTO [csv://[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'
C#
String connectionString = "User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;URL=http://localhost/OLAP/msmdpump.dll;"; using (SSASConnection connection = new SSASConnection(connectionString)) { SSASCommand cmd = new SSASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [csv://[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer.txt] FROM [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;URL=http://localhost/OLAP/msmdpump.dll;" Using connection As New SSASConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SSASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [csv://[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer.txt] FROM [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'", 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 = "User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;URL=http://localhost/OLAP/msmdpump.dll;"; using (SSASConnection connection = new SSASConnection(connectionString)) { SSASCommand cmd = new SSASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] IN [csv://filename=c:/[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;URL=http://localhost/OLAP/msmdpump.dll;" Using connection As New SSASConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SSASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] IN [csv://filename=c:/[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [[AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-SE].[Adventure Works].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
