<Result>: Boolean
  • Trueif the operation has been performed,
  • False if a problem occurs. HError is used to identify the error.

Remarks

Exporting the query content

To export the query content, you must initialize the query (HExecuteQuery) before using HExportCSV.

Type of exported items: special cases

  • If one of the exported items is an array item, each element of the array item <ARRAYITEM> is exported in a <ARRAYITEM>_<Item subscript> item.
  • If one of the exported fields is of type "Spatial data", the field content is converted to WKT format..
Reminder: Compound key, binary memo and binary fields are ignored.
