SQL Server BCP: How to put quotes around all fields?

Question

I have this BCP command:

\'bcp DBName..vieter out c:\\test003.txt -c -T /t\"\\\",\\\"\" -S SERVER\'

The output CSV I get does not put quotes ar

Answer 1

Alternatively, if you are fine for Powershell based script, you can try with below code, which does automatic quoting.

Invoke-sqlcmd -ConnectionString "Server=SERVERNAME, `
3180;Database=DATABASENAME;Trusted_Connection=True;"  `
-Query "SET NOCOUNT ON;SELECT * FROM TABLENAME" -MaxCharLength 700 | `
Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -path C:\temp\FileName.csv -Encoding UTF8
