The pdm_extract command extracts data from specified CA SDM database tables or the entire CA SDM database, and outputs it as ASCII-formatted text.
Syntax
This command has the following format:
pdm_extract [-c|-e|-r] [-d] [-h] [-u] [-v] [-C] --B] [-f formatstring| ALL | table1 . . . TableN]
-c
Produces comma-separated value (CSV) output, such as:
"field1","field2","field3"
The -c, -e, and -r output format options are mutually exclusive.
-e
Produces comma-separated value (CSV) output with embedded double quotes escaped by another double quote. For example:
"Text with a "quoted string" in it"
The -c, -e, and -r output format options are mutually exclusive.
-r
Produces left-justified output in the formats if the column labels are not supplied in the input file:
"label":"value"
or
"value"
This option is intended for use with line printers, for example:
Field_Name: Field Value
The -c, -e, and -r output format options are mutually exclusive.
-d
Uses the date format found in the file $NX_ROOT/fig/english/cfg/dataent.fmt (UNIX) or installation-directory\fig\english\cfg\dataent.fmt (Windows), which you can edit to suit your requirements.
-h
Displays help and usage information.
-u
Produces output without headers.
-v
Specifies verbose mode, which writes comments about command progress to stdout.
Changes encoding from UTF-8 to another charset. The default output is UTF-8.
Example: To convert the output to JIS, you would run "-C iso-2022-jp"
Example: To encode to the operating system's native charset, use "DEFAULT" or "NATIVE".
Suppresses the Byte Order Mark if the variable NX_ADD_UTF8_BYTE_ORDER_MARK is set.
The NX_ADD_UTF8_BYTE_ORDER_MARK option is a signature into a file. It allows editors that support UTF-8 to maintain the UTF-8 integrity of the file.
Note: This is only needed for non-ASCII data. If this is not installed, the default behavior omits the Byte Order Mark (BOM). If installed, set it to "1" or "Yes".
-f formatstring
Extracts specific records and fields according to formatstring, which is an SQL subset statement.
For a date after a period, use the following syntax:
pdm_extract -v -f "select id, ref_num from Call_Req where open_date >= DATE '2005-02-24'" > daterange1.txt
For a date range, use the following syntax:
pdm_extract -v -f "select id, ref_num from Call_Req where open_date >= DATE '2004-01-20' and open_date < DATE '2004-02-25'" > daterange2.txt
Note: Use single quotes around the date in the YYYY-MM-DD format.
The syntax for DATE is as follows:
DATE 'yyyy-mm-dd'
yyyy = integer representing year (between 1970 and 2038)
mm = integer representing month
dd = integer representing day
Examples:
DATE '2005-01-18' DATE '1999-12-25'
The syntax for TIMESTAMP is:
TIMESTAMP 'yyyy-mm-dd hh.mm.ss[.nnnnnn][[+|-][hh.mm]]
yyyy = integer representing year (between 1970 and 2038)
mm = integer representing month
dd = integer representing day
hh = integer representing hour
mm = integer representing minutes
ss = integer representing seconds
nnnn = optional integer representing fractions of sec.
[+|-][hh.mm] = optional time zone interval.
Examples:
TIMESTAMP '1998-04-28 12:00:00.000000' TIMESTAMP '2004-10-17 18:30:45' TIMESTAMP '2005-03-21 12:00:12+08:00' TIMESTAMP '1999-05-10 09:12:23.005-03:30'
Note: The -d option is not needed, as it only affects the format of the output.
A command usage example follows:
pdm_extract -f "select * from Call_Req where open_date > TIMESTAMP '2004-01-12 12:00:00'"
In this example, all columns are being extracted from the Call_Req table where the open_date is after midnight 1/12/2004.
ALL
Extracts output from all tables in the database.
table1. . . tableN
Extracts output from the specified tables. Table names must be separated by spaces.
The default format, if none is specified, is an ASCII file compatible with pdm_userload.
