Delphi TQuery save to csv file

Question

I want to export content of a TQuery to a CSV file without using a 3d part component(Delphi 7). From my knowledge this can not be accomplished with Delphi standard components.

Answer 1

Delphi does not provide any built-in access to .csv data. However, following the VCL TXMLTransform paradigm, I wrote a TCsvTransform class helper that will translate a .csv structure to /from a TClientDataSet. As for the initial question that was to export a TQuery to .csv, a simple TDataSetProvider will make the link between TQuery and TClientDataSet. For more details about TCsvTransform, cf http://didier.cabale.free.fr/delphi.htm#uCsvTransform
