Data Export with an SQL Query
The following query exports data into a file formatted in comma-separated values (CSV):
C#
String connectionString = "Url=https://myorg.sharepoint.com;[email protected];Password=password;File=Book1.xlsx;"; using (Microsoft SharePoint ExcelConnection connection = new Microsoft SharePoint ExcelConnection(connectionString)) { Microsoft SharePoint ExcelCommand cmd = new Microsoft SharePoint ExcelCommand("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://myorg.sharepoint.com;[email protected];Password=password;File=Book1.xlsx;" Using connection As New Microsoft SharePoint ExcelConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New Microsoft SharePoint ExcelCommand("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://myorg.sharepoint.com;[email protected];Password=password;File=Book1.xlsx;"; using (Microsoft SharePoint ExcelConnection connection = new Microsoft SharePoint ExcelConnection(connectionString)) { Microsoft SharePoint ExcelCommand cmd = new Microsoft SharePoint ExcelCommand("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://myorg.sharepoint.com;[email protected];Password=password;File=Book1.xlsx;" Using connection As New Microsoft SharePoint ExcelConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New Microsoft SharePoint ExcelCommand("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
