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, Name INTO [csv://Account.txt] FROM [Account] WHERE Industry = 'Floppy Disks'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://Account.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Account] WHERE Industry = 'Floppy Disks'
C#
String connectionString = "URL=https://my999999.sapbydesign.com;User=username;Password=password;ServiceType=AnalyticsService;ServiceName=servicename;"; using (SAPByDesignConnection connection = new SAPByDesignConnection(connectionString)) { SAPByDesignCommand cmd = new SAPByDesignCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Account.txt] FROM [Account] WHERE Industry = 'Floppy Disks' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "URL=https://my999999.sapbydesign.com;User=username;Password=password;ServiceType=AnalyticsService;ServiceName=servicename;" Using connection As New SAPByDesignConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SAPByDesignCommand("SELECT Id, Name INTO [csv://Account.txt] FROM [Account] WHERE Industry = 'Floppy Disks'", 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 = "URL=https://my999999.sapbydesign.com;User=username;Password=password;ServiceType=AnalyticsService;ServiceName=servicename;"; using (SAPByDesignConnection connection = new SAPByDesignConnection(connectionString)) { SAPByDesignCommand cmd = new SAPByDesignCommand("SELECT * INTO [Account] IN [csv://filename=c:/Account.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Account] WHERE Industry = 'Floppy Disks'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "URL=https://my999999.sapbydesign.com;User=username;Password=password;ServiceType=AnalyticsService;ServiceName=servicename;" Using connection As New SAPByDesignConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SAPByDesignCommand("SELECT * INTO [Account] IN [csv://filename=c:/Account.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Account] WHERE Industry = 'Floppy Disks'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
