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, JobcodeId INTO [csv://Timesheets.txt] FROM [Timesheets] WHERE JobCodeType = 'regular'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, JobcodeId INTO [csv://Timesheets.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Timesheets] WHERE JobCodeType = 'regular'
C#
String connectionString = "OAuthClientId=myclientid;OAuthClientSecret=myclientsecret;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackUrl=http://localhost:33333;"; using (TSheetsConnection connection = new TSheetsConnection(connectionString)) { TSheetsCommand cmd = new TSheetsCommand("SELECT Id, JobcodeId INTO [csv://Timesheets.txt] FROM [Timesheets] WHERE JobCodeType = 'regular' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=myclientid;OAuthClientSecret=myclientsecret;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackUrl=http://localhost:33333;" Using connection As New TSheetsConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New TSheetsCommand("SELECT Id, JobcodeId INTO [csv://Timesheets.txt] FROM [Timesheets] WHERE JobCodeType = 'regular'", 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 = "OAuthClientId=myclientid;OAuthClientSecret=myclientsecret;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackUrl=http://localhost:33333;"; using (TSheetsConnection connection = new TSheetsConnection(connectionString)) { TSheetsCommand cmd = new TSheetsCommand("SELECT * INTO [Timesheets] IN [csv://filename=c:/Timesheets.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Timesheets] WHERE JobCodeType = 'regular'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "OAuthClientId=myclientid;OAuthClientSecret=myclientsecret;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;CallbackUrl=http://localhost:33333;" Using connection As New TSheetsConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New TSheetsCommand("SELECT * INTO [Timesheets] IN [csv://filename=c:/Timesheets.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Timesheets] WHERE JobCodeType = 'regular'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
