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):

boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT name, email INTO "csv://c:/res_users.txt" FROM "res_users" WHERE company_name = 'Company Inc.'");
System.out.println(stat.getUpdateCount()+" rows affected");

You can specify other file formats in the URI. The following example exports tab-separated values:

Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT * INTO "res_users" IN 'csv://filename=c:/res_users.csv;delimiter=tab' FROM "res_users" WHERE company_name = 'Company Inc.'");
System.out.println(stat.getUpdateCount()+" rows affected");
