SQLSnapshot

DataJuggler.SQLSnapshot allows you to export a snapshot of a SQL Server database including all data rows to Excel with one line of code.

Pass in a connectionstring and a path to save.

using DataJuggler.SQLSnapshot;

// Set a connectionstring
string connectionString = ConnectionTextBox.Text;

// Set the export path
string exportPath = @"c:\Temp\DataJugglerExport.xlsx";

// export the result
SQLExportResult result = SQLExcelBridge.ExportSnapshot(connectionString, exportPath);

The file name for the Excel file will be saved and combined with a partial guid, so it will be unique in a folder.

Future updates and features may include:

  1. Ability to only write changes since last snapshot
  2. Export database schema
  3. Consolidate data to update a Test or Dev server with production data

The reason I created this project is SQL Backups are great for data protection, however this requires restoring the entire database to lookup values. There are also times I need to discover when data changed to help determine when a new bug was introduced.

If you have any problems, please create an issue and welcome any feedback as to if you think this project is valuable. I am considering building a Windows Service to create a commercial product out of this with more robust features.

This project combines two of my Nuget packages, DataJuggler.Net7 for database schema reading
and DataJuggler.Excelerate for Excel exporting.

I will create a video soon.
