Using the combine features of Ax.rs.Reader and Ax.rs.Writer function we will show how to write a tiny database export and import application using Excel as intermediata storage system.

1 Exporting (writing)

1.1 SQL

We will use the Ax.rs.Writer to create a series of SQL statements from a database tables.

Copy 
<script>
    var dict = Ax.db.of("wic_icon");
    var tables = dict.executeQuery("SELECT tab_name FROM wic_table_object WHERE tab_label = 'MASTER'");
    for (var row of tables) {
        var tableName = row.get("tab_name");
        var rs = Ax.db.of("demo_sports").executeQuery("SELECT * FROM " + tableName);
        
        var blob = new Ax.sql.Blob("tmp");
        new Ax.rs.Writer(rs).sql(options => {
                options.setTableName(tableName);
                options.setResource(blob);
            }
        );
        rs.close();
        
        console.log(blob.getText());
    }
</script>

1.2 Excel

We will use the Ax.rs.Writer to create generate a Workbook with database data, placing each table in a worksheet and adding a first sheet with TOC (table of contents).
