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 Name, OwnerId INTO [csv://Buckets.txt] FROM [Buckets] WHERE Name = 'TestBucket'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 Name, OwnerId INTO [csv://Buckets.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Buckets] WHERE Name = 'TestBucket'
C#
String connectionString = "AWSAccessKey=a123;AWSSecretKey=s123;"; using (AmazonS3Connection connection = new AmazonS3Connection(connectionString)) { AmazonS3Command cmd = new AmazonS3Command("SELECT Name, OwnerId INTO [csv://Buckets.txt] FROM [Buckets] WHERE Name = 'TestBucket' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "AWSAccessKey=a123;AWSSecretKey=s123;" Using connection As New AmazonS3Connection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New AmazonS3Command("SELECT Name, OwnerId INTO [csv://Buckets.txt] FROM [Buckets] WHERE Name = 'TestBucket'", 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 = "AWSAccessKey=a123;AWSSecretKey=s123;"; using (AmazonS3Connection connection = new AmazonS3Connection(connectionString)) { AmazonS3Command cmd = new AmazonS3Command("SELECT * INTO [Buckets] IN [csv://filename=c:/Buckets.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Buckets] WHERE Name = 'TestBucket'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "AWSAccessKey=a123;AWSSecretKey=s123;" Using connection As New AmazonS3Connection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New AmazonS3Command("SELECT * INTO [Buckets] IN [csv://filename=c:/Buckets.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Buckets] WHERE Name = 'TestBucket'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
