Download any Umbraco document type’s values as crosstab/Excel table

Tim

imageIn a follow up to my post yesterday -How to download Umbraco content properties into a crosstab table this is the follow up SQL Script that makes it even easier to download any Umbraco document type into Excel.

This SQL Script is fairly simple, basically what it does is it gets the properties associated with the specified document type and then pivots the values so you end up with a table of data that looks like this:

Id Property 1 Property 2 Property 3 Property n
123 String Int Date xxx

How to use the script

All you need to do is set the parameter "@ContentTypeId" to the document type you want (as in my previous post you can get this by checking out the link on the document type).

Once you set the id, just run the script and voila there's the data.

If you run the code and get "Command(s) completed successfully" then you've not set the id right so double check and try again.

The Script

DECLARE @cols NVARCHAR(max), @ContentTypeId int
SET @ContentTypeId = 1074

SELECT  @cols = STUFF(( 
	SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT
        '],[' 
        + CONVERT(varchar, Name + ' (' + CONVERT(varchar, id) + ')', 255)
    FROM
		dbo.cmsPropertyType
	WHERE
		contentTypeId = @ContentTypeId
    ORDER BY
        '],[' 
        + CONVERT(varchar, Name + ' (' + CONVERT(varchar, id) + ')', 255)
    FOR XML PATH('')
), 1, 2, '') + ']'
--SELECT  @cols

DECLARE @query NVARCHAR(max)
SET @query = N'SELECT Id, ' + @cols + '
FROM
  (
		SELECT
			CONVERT(varchar, t.Name + '' ('' + CONVERT(varchar, t.id) + '')'', 255) As [PropId],
			contentNodeId As [Id],
			ISNULL(dataNvarchar, ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar, dataDate), ISNULL(CONVERT(varchar, dataInt), dataNtext))) As [Value]
		FROM
			dbo.cmsPropertyType t LEFT JOIN dbo.cmsPropertyData d ON t.id = d.propertytypeid
		WHERE
			contentTypeId = ' + CONVERT(varchar, @ContentTypeId) + ' 
) p
PIVOT
(
	MAX(Value) 
	FOR PropId IN ( '+ @cols +' )
) AS pvt
ORDER BY Id ASC'

--PRINT(@query)
EXECUTE(@query)
