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 CategoryId, CategoryName INTO [csv://ProductCategory.txt] FROM [ProductCategory] WHERE CategoryOwner = 'Bob'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 CategoryId, CategoryName INTO [csv://ProductCategory.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [ProductCategory] WHERE CategoryOwner = 'Bob'
C#
String connectionString = "server=localhost;port=7474;user=neo4j;password=password;"; using (Neo4jConnection connection = new Neo4jConnection(connectionString)) { Neo4jCommand cmd = new Neo4jCommand("SELECT CategoryId, CategoryName INTO [csv://ProductCategory.txt] FROM [ProductCategory] WHERE CategoryOwner = 'Bob' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "server=localhost;port=7474;user=neo4j;password=password;" Using connection As New Neo4jConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New Neo4jCommand("SELECT CategoryId, CategoryName INTO [csv://ProductCategory.txt] FROM [ProductCategory] WHERE CategoryOwner = 'Bob'", 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 = "server=localhost;port=7474;user=neo4j;password=password;"; using (Neo4jConnection connection = new Neo4jConnection(connectionString)) { Neo4jCommand cmd = new Neo4jCommand("SELECT * INTO [ProductCategory] IN [csv://filename=c:/ProductCategory.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [ProductCategory] WHERE CategoryOwner = 'Bob'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "server=localhost;port=7474;user=neo4j;password=password;" Using connection As New Neo4jConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New Neo4jCommand("SELECT * INTO [ProductCategory] IN [csv://filename=c:/ProductCategory.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [ProductCategory] WHERE CategoryOwner = 'Bob'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
