SQL Table to csv with delimiters

Help Studio
1

Hi,

I have read data from SQL Table and stored in a data table.

Read the data table as input and used write range to write to csv file…

I want to use two delimiters (double quotes and comma). I am able to achieve only comma at the moment.

Please guide me in achieving this. Attached expected csv output format.

Hi,

I tried, only comma between values are coming.

I want double quotes too like the image attached above.

Hey @aishwarya1

Please try this,

String.Join(Environment.NewLine, dt_DbData.AsEnumerable.Select(Function(row) String.Join(",",row.ItemArray.Select(Function(columnVal) """"+columnVal.ToString+""""))))

Hope this helps

Thanks

Thanks a lot, it worked but the column headers are not coming.

Can you help me do the same for the headers as well ?

Hey @aishwarya1

Sorry for missing it,

Here you go,

String.Join(",",dt_DbData.Columns.Select(Function(col) """"+col.ColumnName+""""))

Now concat both query results

Header query + Environment.Newline + Above Query For Values

Thanks

I am getting the below error for Header query

Validation Error Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression “String.Join(”,“,output_dt.Columns.Select(Function(col) “””“+col.ColumnName+”“”“))”.
‘Select’ is not a member of ‘System.Data.DataColumnCollection’. Main.xaml

Hey @aishwarya1

Ok I guess it’s due to collection - so now it’s just converted to iEnumerable of column,

String.Join(",",dt_DbData.Columns.Cast(Of DataColumn).Select(Function(col) """"+col.ColumnName+""""))

Thanks

Could you please help me with another issue if possible?

I want to insert a Datatable to a SQL Table. I am not sure how to do it.

Should I create a table first and then insert ? How will the columns be mapped between datatable and SQL Table?
