Export sqlite3 table to a text file from C program

Iam having a database in Sqlite3. I am doing 开发者_C百科all my operations by writing application in Linux C(API:sqlite3_exec). Currently Iam trying to export the database to a text file. Can anyone suggest query statements fro the same.

This is not exactly what you are looking for but pretty close. This will output your query in JSON format to outbuf, I did not include b64encode() in the snippet.

 int sqlite3_json(sqlite3_stmt *s, char *outbuf, size_t blen, size_t *used)
{
    int nuse=0;
    int res,i=0,ncolumn=sqlite3_column_count(s);

    nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,"[\n");
    while(SQLITE_ROW==(res=sqlite3_step(s))) {
        nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse, "\t{\n");
        for(i=0;i<ncolumn;++i) {
            nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,
                    "\t\t\"%s\" : ", sqlite3_column_name(s,i));
            switch (sqlite3_column_type(s,i)) {
                case SQLITE_INTEGER:
                    nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,
                            "%d,\n", sqlite3_column_int(s,i));
                    break;
                case SQLITE_FLOAT:
                    nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,
                            "%e,\n", sqlite3_column_double(s,i));
                    break;
                case SQLITE_TEXT:
                    nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,
                            "\"%s\",\n", sqlite3_column_text(s,i));
                    break;
                case SQLITE_BLOB:
                    nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,"\"");
                    nuse+=b64encode((char*) sqlite3_column_blob(s,i),
                            sqlite3_column_bytes(s,i),
                            outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse);
                    nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,"\",\n");
            }
        }
        nuse-=2; // trailing ',\n'
        nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse, "\n\t},\n");
        if( blen < nuse ) {
            printf("buffer overflow\n");
            break;
        }
    }
    if(i&&res==SQLITE_DONE) nuse-=2; //trailing ',\n'
    nuse+=snprintf(outbuf+nuse,blen-nuse,"\n]\n");
    if(used) *used=nuse;
    return res;
