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, CustomerName INTO [csv://Contacts.txt] FROM [Contacts] WHERE FirstName = 'Test'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, CustomerName INTO [csv://Contacts.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Contacts] WHERE FirstName = 'Test'
C#
String connectionString = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL;"; using (Zoho InventoryConnection connection = new Zoho InventoryConnection(connectionString)) { Zoho InventoryCommand cmd = new Zoho InventoryCommand("SELECT Id, CustomerName INTO [csv://Contacts.txt] FROM [Contacts] WHERE FirstName = 'Test' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL;" Using connection As New Zoho InventoryConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New Zoho InventoryCommand("SELECT Id, CustomerName INTO [csv://Contacts.txt] FROM [Contacts] WHERE FirstName = 'Test'", 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 = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL;"; using (Zoho InventoryConnection connection = new Zoho InventoryConnection(connectionString)) { Zoho InventoryCommand cmd = new Zoho InventoryCommand("SELECT * INTO [Contacts] IN [csv://filename=c:/Contacts.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Contacts] WHERE FirstName = 'Test'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL;" Using connection As New Zoho InventoryConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New Zoho InventoryCommand("SELECT * INTO [Contacts] IN [csv://filename=c:/Contacts.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Contacts] WHERE FirstName = 'Test'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
