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):
C#
String connectionString = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL"; using (ZohoBooksConnection connection = new ZohoBooksConnection(connectionString)) { ZohoBooksCommand cmd = new ZohoBooksCommand("SELECT InvoiceId, InvoiceNumber INTO [csv://INVOICES.txt] FROM [INVOICES] WHERE CustomerName = 'NewTech Industries' ", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL" Using connection As New ZohoBooksConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New ZohoBooksCommand("SELECT InvoiceId, InvoiceNumber INTO [csv://INVOICES.txt] FROM [INVOICES] WHERE CustomerName = 'NewTech Industries'", 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 = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL"; using (ZohoBooksConnection connection = new ZohoBooksConnection(connectionString)) { ZohoBooksCommand cmd = new ZohoBooksCommand("SELECT * INTO [INVOICES] IN [csv://filename=c:/INVOICES.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [INVOICES] WHERE CustomerName = 'NewTech Industries'", connection); int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL" Using connection As New ZohoBooksConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New ZohoBooksCommand("SELECT * INTO [INVOICES] IN [csv://filename=c:/INVOICES.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [INVOICES] WHERE CustomerName = 'NewTech Industries'", connection) Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
