📋 SQL Query Formatting: Preserve original SQL formatting with line breaks in Table of Contents

v1.3.0 Highlights

Per-sheet export routing by extension
- .xlsx / .xls → Generate a single Excel workbook (existing behavior)
- .csv → Generate per-sheet CSV files
- All other extensions (e.g., .txt, .log, .data, .sql, etc.) → Generate per-sheet TXT files (tab-delimited)
Directory and filename rules for per-sheet export
- Output directory: <output_basename>_<ext> (no dot). Example: output="d:/temp/report.csv" → d:/temp/report_csv/
- Each sheet becomes a separate file named after the sheet's originalName
- No 31-character truncation for CSV/TXT (Excel-only limit). Filenames sanitized and capped at 100 chars
Format defaults
- CSV: comma, UTF-8 with BOM, headers, CRLF
- TXT: tab, UTF-8 with BOM, headers, CRLF

Previously in v1.2.11

Validation warning for sheet names > 31 chars; note about Excel truncation
TOC: Added "Original Name" column; removed note tooltip

Previously in v1.2.10

💡 Usage Examples

XML Configuration File Example (with Dynamic Variables)

<queries>
 <excel db="sampleDB" output="output/SalesReport.xlsx">
 <header>
 <font name="Arial" size="12" color="FFFFFF" bold="true"/>
 <fill color="4F81BD"/>
 </header>
 </excel>
 
 <!-- Regular variables -->
 <vars>
 <var name="startDate">2024年01月01日</var>
 <var name="endDate">2024年12月31日</var>
 </vars>
 
 <!-- Dynamic variables -->
 <dynamicVars>
 <dynamicVar name="activeCustomers" description="Active customer list">
 <![CDATA[
 SELECT CustomerID, CustomerName, Region
 FROM Customers WHERE IsActive = 1
 ]]>
 </dynamicVar>
 </dynamicVars>
 
 <sheet name="MonthlySales" use="true" aggregateColumn="Month">
 <![CDATA[
 SELECT MONTH(OrderDate) as Month, SUM(TotalAmount) as Sales
 FROM Orders 
 WHERE YEAR(OrderDate) = 2024
 AND CustomerID IN (${activeCustomers.CustomerID})
 GROUP BY MONTH(OrderDate)
 ]]>
 </sheet>
</queries>

Variable Usage Example

node src/excel-cli.js export --xml ./queries/sales-report.xml \
 --var "startDate=2024年01月01日" \
 --var "endDate=2024年06月30日"

Dynamic Variables

The tool supports dynamic variables that can extract data at runtime and use it in queries:

Variable Types

Type	Description	Access Pattern	Default
`column_identified`	Extract all columns as arrays keyed by column name	`${varName.columnName}`	✅ Yes
`key_value_pairs`	Extract first two columns as key-value pairs	`${varName.key}`	No

Usage Examples

<!-- Using column_identified (default) -->
<dynamicVar name="customerData" description="Customer information">
 <![CDATA[
 SELECT CustomerID, CustomerName, Region FROM Customers
 ]]>
 <!-- type omitted - defaults to column_identified -->
</dynamicVar>
<!-- Using key_value_pairs -->
<dynamicVar name="statusMapping" description="Status mapping">
 <![CDATA[
 SELECT StatusCode, StatusName FROM StatusCodes
 ]]>
 <type>key_value_pairs</type>
</dynamicVar>

-- In your sheet queries
SELECT * FROM Orders 
WHERE CustomerID IN (${customerData.CustomerID})
 AND Status IN (${statusMapping.StatusCode})

🔧 Environment Requirements

Node.js 16.0 or higher
