SQL-dumper

Command line tool, that dumps the result of SQL to an CSV on the filesystem. Queries can be using "extended SQL" split into subqueries, reducing the complexity on the server side.

If you want to contribute, please see the contribution guidelines.

Installation:

Download Oracle JDBC Driver 12c (tested with this version.) and put sql-dumper.jar and ojdbc7.jar in one folder. Note that the ojdbc7.jar file can not be gathered by maven, it has to be added manually to the project. To do so in IntelliJ IDEA, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, go to "Libraries", and select the file from your local disc.

Usage is easy:

java -jar sql_dumper.jar sqlPath outPath user pass jdbc

with the arguments being:

• sqlPath: Path to a folder holding all .SQL files that will be executed, e.g. "C:\path\to\folder\with\sql\files\"
• outPath: Path to a folder, where the .CSV will be dumped, e.g. "C:\path\to\csv\"
• user: Your username to access the database, if in doubt surrounded by "", e.g. "myusername"
• pass: Your password to access the database, e.g. "123myPassword"
• jdbc: The JDBC connection string to establish the connection, e.g. "jdbc:oracle:thin:@sdwh.company.com:1333:sdwh"

The outputted CSV files will be saved to a sub directory of outpath following the convention YYYY_MM_DD\ and be named after the SQL script file in the input directory (myScript.SQL will lead to a resultfile named myScript.CSV).

Extended SQL

The following "extended SQL" commands are supported. Since being hidden as a comment (indicated by --, which is mandatory), the SQL files are still executable by every other SQL Tool (like the Oracle SQL Developer). Extended SQL is likely used in the WHERE clause of your SQL script.

All subquery results will be concatenated into a single, output CSV file.

The use of extended SQL is completely optional. Querying standard SQL will work, too.

Output text ($ESQL_text)

Inserts the given text. This is necessary because extended SQL is hidden in comments.

Example

The following code

  -- $ESQL_text("WHERE mw.WERT_CODE = 123")

Will simply output the text "WHERE mw.WERT_CODE = 123 to sql query.

Generate subqueries by an array of strings ($ESQL_textArray)

Generates subqueries by querying for values from the given array. The number of values queried at a time can be set explicitly.

Example

The following code

 -- $ESQL_text("AND MY_COL IN ") $ESQL_textArray(2, "VALA", "VALB", "VALC", "VALD")

Will result in two subqueries, with the first one having AND MY_COL IN ('VALA', 'VALB').

Generate IN clause for a given number of numbers from an array ($ESQL_numArray)

Generates a subquery for the given numbers. Encapsulates multiple numbers into one subquery using the given blocksize.

Example

The following code

-- $ESQL_text("AND MY_COL IN ") $ESQL_numArray(2, 117, 118, 119)

Will generate two subqueries from the given SQL file. The first one will contain AND MY_COL IN (2, 117) and the second one AND MY_COL IN (118, 119).

Generate subquery for every number in range ($ESQL_spreadNum)

Generates a subquery for every number in the given range.

Example

The following code

-- $ESQL_text("AND MY_COL = ") $ESQL_spreadNum(1:100)

Will generate 100 subqueries, the first one having the line AND MY_COL = 1. The last one will be AND MY_COL = 100.

Generate subqueries by splitting a range into multiple subqueries ($ESQL_spreadNumArea)

Generates a given number of subqueries by slicing the given range into ranges of equal size.

Example

The following code

-- $ESQL_text("AND MY_COL ") $ESQL_spreadNumArea(1:100:10)

Will generate 10 subqueries, with the first one being AND MY_COL BETWEEN 1 AND 9.

Contributing

Inspired by the workflow from scikit-learn these are the steps you need to follow for your Pull-Request to merged:

The preferred workflow for contributing to SQL-dumper is to fork the main repository on GitHub, clone, and develop on a branch. Steps:

1. Fork the project repository by clicking on the "Fork" button near the top right of the page. This creates a copy of the code under your GitHub user account. For more details on how to fork a repository see this guide.

2. Clone your fork of the SQL-dumper repo from your GitHub account to your local disk:

   $ git clone https://github.com/BernhardSchlegel/SQL-dumper.git
   $ cd SQL-dumper

3. Create a feature branch to hold your development changes:

   $ git checkout -b my-feature

   Always use a feature branch. It's good practice to never work on the master branch!

4. Develop the feature on your feature branch. Add changed files using git add and then git commit files:

   $ git add modified_files
   $ git commit

   to record your changes in Git, then push the changes to your GitHub account with:

   $ git push -u origin my-feature

5. Follow these instructions to create a pull request from your fork.

Thank you for your support !
