Exporting MySQL table data to a file in location of choice

Hi everyone,
As I'm still not all too familiar with JDBC and MySQL, I'm running into a problem and I was hoping somebody could give me a push in the right direction. What I want to do is create a Java tool which performs a query on a database, to then return the results in a file on the user's computer, not on the mySQL server itself. I know that you can easily create a file using the
SELECT * INTO OUTFILE
command, but this creates a file on the MySQL server, not on the computer of the person running the Java tool. Basically I would like the program to have a 'browse' button, with which I can specify where the file should be saved. Can anybody tell me how I could possibly accomplish this? I was guessing something with the JFileChooser would be an option, but can't seem to find exactly how to code it.
Thanks a lot for any input in advance, your help is greatly appreciated!
best regards

Thanks for your swift replies!
I'm sorry I had the context mistaken, I thought as it was handling MySQL data, it would be related to the JDBC theme. But your answer has definitely helped me along, thanks for that! I will look at that tutorial you linked through... Am I right in assuming that I can run the query, save the results in the ResultSet rs variable and then pass this to the file opened/created by JFileChooser?
Thanks again for your time!

Export table data in text file

hi,
i am using oracle 8.0.7 , i want to export a table data in to text file, thanks in advance
Noman ul haq

2 options:
1) Spool the query results into a file using SQL*PLUS
2) If you can use the Oracle Server, look at the UTL_FILE package. This writes files, but ONLY to the Oracle server. It will NOT write out to your client machine. Your DBA will need to add an entry to allow for the UTL_FILE package to write out to the directory you choose.
Hope that helps - the documentation should have detailed usage of UTL_FILE package. Or search on this site b/c this is a common question - see it at least 3 times a week.

Exporting table data to .csv file

How to export the table data (this table is having 18 million records) to .csv file. using SQL Developer and PL/SQL deveoloper it is taking too long time to complete. Please let me know is there any faster way to complete this task.
Thanks in advance

Also bear in mind that SQL Developer and PL/SQL Developer are running on your local client, so it's transferring all 18 million rows to the client before formatting and putting them out to a file. If you had some PL/SQL code to export it on the database server it would run a lot faster as you wouldn't have the network traffic delay to deal with, although your file would then reside on the server rather than the client (which isn't necessarily a bad thing as a lot of companies would be concerned about the security of their data especially if it ends up being stored on local machines rather than on a secure server).
As already asked, why on earth do you need to store 18 million rows in a CSV file? The database is the best place to keep the data.

Exporting table data into text files

I got a request to export the data from about 85 tables into 85 text files. I assume that they will want a header row and some delimiter character. This is a process that must run every night by a sql job.
Obviously I want it to be flexible. Tables could be addede and removed and columns could be added and removed. There will probably be a control table that has the list of tables to export.
Looked at bcp - but seems that it is command line only?
SSIS package?
What other options are there?

Wanted to post my solution. Ended up using bcp in a PowerShell Script. I was unable to use bcp in SQL because it requires xp_cmdshell and that is not allowed at many of our client sites. So wrote a Powershell script that executes bcp. The ps script
loops through a table that contains a row for each table/view to export along with many values and switches for the table/view export: export path, include column headers, enclose each field in double quotes, double up embedded double quotes, how to format
dates, what to return for NULL integers - basically the stuff that is not flexible in bcp. To get this flexibility I created a SQL proc that takes these values as input and creates a view. Then the PS bcp does a SELECT on the view. Many of my tables are
very wide and bcp has a limit of 4000/8000. Some of my SELECT statements ended up being GT 35k in length. So using a view got around this size limitation.
Anyway, the view creation and bcp download is really fast. It can download about 4 gb of data in 20 minutes. It can download it faster the 7z can zip it.
Below is the SQL proc to format the SELECT statement to create the view for bcp (or some other utility like SQLCMD, Invoke-SQLCMD) or SQL query by "SELECT * from v_ExportData". the proc can be used from SQL or PS, or anything that can call a SQL
Proc and then read a SQL view.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]
ExportTablesCreateView
Description:
Read in a tablename or viewname with parameters and create a view v_ExportTable of the
data. The view will typically be read by bcp to download SQL table data to flat files.
bcp does not have the options to include column headers, include fields in double quotes,
format dates or use '0' for integer NULLS. Also, bcp has a limit of varhar 4000 and
wider tables could not be directly called by bcp. So create the v_ExportTable and have
bcp SELECT v_ExportTable instead of the original table or view.
Parameters:
@pTableName VARCHAR(128) - table or view to create v_ExportTable from
@pColumnHeader INT =1 - include column headers in the first row
@pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1 - put double quotes " around all column values including column headers
@pDouble_EmbeddedDoubleQuotes INT = 1 - This is usually used with @pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1. 'ab"c"d would be 'ab""c""d.
@pNumNULLValue VARCHAR(1) = '0' - NULL number data types will export this value instead of bcp default of ''
@pDateTimeFormat INT = 121 - DateTime data types will use this format value
Example:
EXEC ExportTablesCreateView 'custname', 1, 1, 1, '0', 121
@pTableName VARCHAR(128),
@pColumnHeader INT = 1,
@pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1,
@pDouble_EmbeddedDoubleQuotes INT = 1,

Export table data to Pdf file

Hi all,
I have a .jspx page wich contains a table and a button with an exportCollectionActionListener to export the table data to an excell file.
Now i want to do the same but to a pdf file.
Is that posible, and if so how can I do that?
If it isn't posible is there any way to do that.
Thanks all,
Rowan

Hi!
Yes, the first step is to learn iReport. Then, investigate Jasper Forums where you will find lot of code and hints.
To produce a report you have to:
1. Create report definition and compile it in report files used by Jasper API later on (this you learn on Jasper forums)
2. Create java code in your project to generate report (based on datasource in your app) - this is just java code which doesnt have anything special to ADF/JDev - learn this also on Jasper forums
3. Decide which mechanism you will use to downstream report output (whichever render you select when generate report - PDF, HTML, Excle, RTF...) - there are two options:
a. Use standard JSP Servlet, where you just have to generate report and downstream it into servlet's output stream
b. more ADF 11g way - using af:fileDownloadActionListener with backingbean to downstream a generated report content
That's it. You have to design your own strategy for supplying report query parameters (through Http Request params or any other way dependent on mechanism you decide to use).
Try Googling for Jdeveloper Jasper and you will find several blogs/forums on this topic (try JDeveloper and Jasper.. HTML Report without information The servlet technique is same as in 10g and for ADF 11g way you have to manage yourself.

How to download internal table data to .xlsx file ?

Hello All,
I am using SAP ECC 6.0. I need to download internal table data to .xlsx file.
I tried GUI_DOWNLOAD, all the data are getting transferred to the .xlsx file, but while opening I am getting the below error.
Excel cannot open the file "download.xlsx" because file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
Though Microsoft office 2007 is installed in my system.
Please help <removed by moderator>.

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/38b2bed2-9d4e-48d4-a33f-1d9eed1c062d/flat-file-to-sql-server?forum=sqldatamining

Table data in FLAT file - Please help me

Hi,
Please have look.
In my database 7 - users, Each user with nearly 1500 tables.
My client wants the data in each table to be availbale in a text file in a human
readable format like.
eg: DEPT table
Deptno,Dname,Location (This line is optional)
10,FIN,LA
20,ACCOUNTING,NW
Please help me to solve this.
Can you suggest any easy way?
regards
Mathew

Can you suggest any easy way?What about the answers given in your previous post:
Tables data into text file
Use Oracle's SQL Developer. Bring up the table in a
grid and export it to a .csv file. Then the human
can open it in Excel.If the OP's numbers are correct (7 users, each with 1500 tables) this does not sound like an easy way to export 10500 tables...

Exporting fieldsymbol table data to Excel

hi,
I'm using dynamic select query and fetching into fieldsymbols table.
now i want to export above fieldsymbol table data to csv file.
thanks,
gupta.

Hi ,
You can do the same using GUI_DOWNLOAD. First you need to create one more internal table with one field (length as per ur requirement) and populate this internal table by comma seperator. Then use the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD with file extension CSV.
Thanks.

This may not be an option for you but in pinch you may want to consider outputing your data to an MS Spreadsheet, then saving it as a CSV. It's somewhat of a cumbersome process, but it will get you by for now.
You will need to change your content type to application/vnd.ms-excel.
<% response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); %>

My FND_LOBS_CTX index is fine..it is valid and

- Check the security level of the "Trusted sites" zone, make sure it is set to "Low"
- Make sure you do not have a yellow warning bar
- Make sure you are not accessing the application through dev60cgi/f60cgi
- Verify that you have sufficient space in the tablespace (Check init<SID>.ora for any errors)
- Check the export on some other modules to determine whether the issue is across all Apps or with a specific module only
