如何以CSV格式发送查询结果？

Question

I am working on ETL and I have this below sql code in my SQL Task in SSIS package. This is how i have coded. I am selecting a data from a table and result of that query as file. I want this attachment sent in CSV format. How do i do it?

EXEC sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='default',
@recipients='dev@null.com',
@subject=@SUB,
@body=@BODY,

@query= 'SELECT [MID],[HID],[MeC],[LC],[RowCDate]
FROM [JBC].[dbo].[Table1] WHERE RowCDate >= GETDATE()
',
@attach_query_result_as_file=1

Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Adding @query_result_separator should do the trick.

EXEC sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='default',
@recipients='dev@null.com',
@subject=@SUB,
@body=@BODY,

@query= 'SELECT [MID],[HID],[MeC],[LC],[RowCDate]
FROM [JBC].[dbo].[Table1] WHERE RowCDate >= GETDATE()
',
@attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
@query_attachment_filename   = 'Results.csv',
@query_result_separator      = ','

Adding @query_result_no_padding = 1 might clean up the results a bit. All off the arguments can be found here

Answer 2

@query='
SET NOCOUNT ON;
select ''sep=;''
select ''Col1'',''Col2'',''Col3'',''Col3''

select CONVERT(NVARCHAR,Col1),ISNULL(Col2, ''''),Col4
FROM ...
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
',

--Additional settings
@query_attachment_filename   = '*.csv',
@query_result_separator      = ';',
@attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
@query_result_no_padding     = 1,
@exclude_query_output        = 1,
@append_query_error          = 0,
@query_result_header         = 0;

Answer 3

Adding

'[sep=,' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) ColumnName] 

with result solved the issue

This comment on purple frog indicates you can also use the tab character as a delimiter:

 DECLARE @tab char(1) = CHAR(9) EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='donotreply' ,@recipients ='xx@x' ,@query= @query ,@subject= 'xx' ,@attach_query_result_as_file=1 ,@query_attachment_filename='xx.csv' ,@query_result_separator=@tab ,@query_result_no_padding=1 –trim ,@query_result_width=32767 –stop wordwrap

Also looks like this answer's been posted already, my bad: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44315682/5758637

Answer 5

Inside a proc:

SELECT 
table.myColumn AS [sep=, 
myColumn]
, table.myCol2
, table.myCol3...

with a normal hard return within the column alias after "sep=,".
