Table-level backup

Question

How to take table-level backup (dump) in MS SQL Server 2005/2008?

Answer 1

This is similar to qntmfred's solution, but using a direct table dump. This option is slightly faster (see BCP docs):

to export:

bcp "[MyDatabase].dbo.Customer " out "Customer.bcp" -N -S localhost -T -E

to import:

bcp [MyDatabase].dbo.Customer in "Customer.bcp" -N -S localhost -T -E -b 10000
