How To Send A Query Result In Csv Format?

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

Solution 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

Solution 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;

Solution 3:

Adding

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

with result solved the issue

Solution 4:

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

DECLARE@tabchar(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

Solution 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=,".
