The SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_QUERY system procedure
exports the results of a SELECT statement to an operating system file in a
delimited data file format.
Syntax
SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_QUERY(IN SELECTSTATEMENT VARCHAR(32672),
IN FILENAME VARCHAR(32672), IN COLUMNDELIMITER CHAR(1),
IN CHARACTERDELIMITER CHAR(1), IN CODESET VARCHAR(128))
No
result is returned from the procedure.
- SELECTSTATEMENT
- An input argument of type VARCHAR(32672) that specifies the select statement
(query) that will return the data to be exported. Passing a NULL value will
result in an error.
- FILENAME
- An input argument of type VARCHAR(32672) that specifies the name of the
file to which data is to be exported. If the complete path to the file is
not specified, the export procedure uses the current directory and the default
drive as the destination. If the name of a file that already exists is specified,
the export procedure overwrites the contents of the file; it does not append
the information. Passing a null will result in an error.
- COLUMNDELIMITER
- An input argument of type CHAR(1) that specifies a column delimiter. The
specified character is used in place of a comma to signal the end of a column.
Passing a NULL value will use the default value; the default value is a comma
(,).
- CHARACTERDELIMITER
- An input argument of type CHAR(1) that specifies a character delimiter.
The specified character is used in place of double quotation marks to enclose
a character string. Passing a NULL value will use the default value; the default
value is a double quotation mark (").
- CODESET
- An input argument of type VARCHAR(128) that specifies the code set of
the data in the exported file. The name of the code set should be one of the
Java-supported character encodings. Data is converted from the database code
set to the specified code set before writing to the file. Passing a NULL value
will write the data in the same code set as the JVM in which it is being executed.
Usage
For additional information on using this procedure
see the section "Using the bulk import and export procedures" in the Java DB Tools and Utilities Guide.
Example
The following example shows how to export
the information about employees in Department 20 from the STAFF table in the
SAMPLE database to the myfile.del file.
CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_QUERY('select * from staff where dept =20',
'c:/output/awards.del', null, null, null);
