my seasonal compliments..

this is ashok. i am using monetdb for my application with java. just i need to copy the monetdb table to a csv file..

in an sql manual i read the syntax for copying from table to csvfile is

Syntax:

COPY <subquery> INTO <file_name> [ [USING] DELIMITERS tuple_separator [’,’ record_separator [ ’,’ string_quote ]]] [ NULL AS null_string ];

Operating System: Windows XP

My query:

copy select * from table_name into 'D:/file_name.csv' using delimiters '|';

This syntax and your query is correct and should work with both the latest release (MonetDB5.6/sql2.24) and current (ie CVS head).

On the older versions it does not work.

Niels

but if i execute this, am facing the following problem.. any suggestion? asap...

Error: Syntax error, unexpected SELECT, expecting INTO in: “copy select”..

Also the query specified below which having --with null as 'null_String"-- is not working..

copy select * from table_name into 'D:/file_name.csv' using delimiters '|' with null as ' ';

I want a way to copy monetdb tables to csv files..
