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, Color INTO [csv://Tags.txt] FROM [Tags] WHERE CustomerId = '1368175'

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, Color INTO [csv://Tags.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Tags] WHERE CustomerId = '1368175'

C#

String connectionString = "APIKey='YourAPIKey';APISecret='YourAPISecret'";

using (ShipStationConnection connection = new ShipStationConnection(connectionString)) {
  ShipStationCommand cmd = new ShipStationCommand("SELECT Id, Color INTO [csv://Tags.txt] FROM [Tags] WHERE CustomerId = '1368175' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "APIKey='YourAPIKey';APISecret='YourAPISecret'" 

Using connection As New ShipStationConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New ShipStationCommand("SELECT Id, Color INTO [csv://Tags.txt] FROM [Tags] WHERE CustomerId = '1368175'", 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 = "APIKey='YourAPIKey';APISecret='YourAPISecret'";

using (ShipStationConnection connection = new ShipStationConnection(connectionString)) {
  ShipStationCommand cmd = new ShipStationCommand("SELECT * INTO [Tags] IN [csv://filename=c:/Tags.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Tags] WHERE CustomerId = '1368175'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "APIKey='YourAPIKey';APISecret='YourAPISecret'" 

Using connection As New ShipStationConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New ShipStationCommand("SELECT * INTO [Tags] IN [csv://filename=c:/Tags.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Tags] WHERE CustomerId = '1368175'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
