Subject: SQL: Creating a CSV in a select
A while ago Marian Dumitrascu posted the following code to create a csv file
which is very nice and clean:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetDocs"...>
SELECT
'"' + RTRIM(CATEGORY) + '"' + ',' +
'"' + RTRIM(newc2) + '"' + ',' +
...
'"' + RTRIM(C_Alias) + '"'
AS line
FROM table
</CFQUERY>
<!--- create the file content ---->
<CFSET filecontent = ValueList(GetDocs.line,"#CHR(13)##CHR(10)#")>
<!--- and save it --->
<cffile action="APPEND" file="#csvfile#" output="#filecontent#">
My problem comes in trying to do the select statement, I am finding that it
will not populate that "line" field if any of the fields used to build it
are null. Is there a way to get around this in the select statement.
Having to loop through a query takes far too much time with 7000 records,
where ValueList() is much quicker.
TIA for any help.
