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, Name INTO [csv://Documents.txt] FROM [Documents] WHERE Name = '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, Name INTO [csv://Documents.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Documents] WHERE Name = 'Test'

C#

String connectionString = "Url=myURL;User=myUser;Password=myPassword;";

using (VeevaVaultConnection connection = new VeevaVaultConnection(connectionString)) {
  VeevaVaultCommand cmd = new VeevaVaultCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Documents.txt] FROM [Documents] WHERE Name = 'Test' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Url=myURL;User=myUser;Password=myPassword;" 

Using connection As New VeevaVaultConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New VeevaVaultCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Documents.txt] FROM [Documents] WHERE Name = 'Test'", 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 = "Url=myURL;User=myUser;Password=myPassword;";

using (VeevaVaultConnection connection = new VeevaVaultConnection(connectionString)) {
  VeevaVaultCommand cmd = new VeevaVaultCommand("SELECT * INTO [Documents] IN [csv://filename=c:/Documents.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Documents] WHERE Name = 'Test'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Url=myURL;User=myUser;Password=myPassword;" 

Using connection As New VeevaVaultConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New VeevaVaultCommand("SELECT * INTO [Documents] IN [csv://filename=c:/Documents.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Documents] WHERE Name = 'Test'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
