The TargetText object implements the functionality to output data from SQL*XL to a flat file. You may use any
or no field separator. The properties of TargetText determine the way data is output to the plain text file. To
obtain a reference to the TargetText object use the Targets property of the SQLXL
object. Example: SQLXL.Targets( litText ).Headings = False
Physically, output is generated by the Statement objects
notably the StmtDQL object that implements select statements.
The execute method of the Statement outputs the data according to the setting of the Target property on the Statement.
If Statement.Target = litText then output will be generated as a plain text file.
Properties:
Name
Data Type
Description
FileName
As String
File name for the new text file. (Full path!)
FieldSeparator
As String
Character or string to separate the database field. Set to "," for a CSV file, set to a vbTab for a tab
delimited file, etc.
Example:
Create a CSV output file:
SQLXL.SQL.setText Text := "select * from emp"
Set SQLSL.SQL.Statements(1).Target= Targets(litText )
Targets(litExcel).FileName = "c:\test.csv"
Targets(litExcel).FieldSeparator = ","
SQLXL.SQL.Statements(1).Execute
