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 = "URL=asazure://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net/server;";

using (AASConnection connection = new AASConnection(connectionString)) {
  AASCommand cmd = new AASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [csv://[adventureworks].[Model].Customer.txt] FROM [[adventureworks].[Model].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "URL=asazure://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net/server;" 

Using connection As New AASConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New AASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [csv://[adventureworks].[Model].Customer.txt] FROM [[adventureworks].[Model].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'", 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=asazure://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net/server;";

using (AASConnection connection = new AASConnection(connectionString)) {
  AASCommand cmd = new AASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [[adventureworks].[Model].Customer] IN [csv://filename=c:/[adventureworks].[Model].Customer.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [[adventureworks].[Model].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "URL=asazure://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net/server;" 

Using connection As New AASConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New AASCommand("SELECT Country, Education INTO [[adventureworks].[Model].Customer] IN [csv://filename=c:/[adventureworks].[Model].Customer.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [[adventureworks].[Model].Customer] WHERE Country = 'Australia'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
