Exporting data from SQL Server Express to CSV (need quoting and escaping)

Question

I\'ve spent 2 days trying to export a 75,000 row table containing a large text field of user input data from a SQL server installation. This data contains every plain ascii

Answer 1

I've been trying to figure this out as well. Not sure if this will work for you since your table is much larger than mine, but this is what I did just out of a whim:

1. I pulled up my table in Express by doing a SELECT * statement
2. Simply selected the resulting rows and Ctrl + C
3. Opened Excel
4. Highlighted the amount of columns the table I was pasting had
5. Pasted, and it friggin' worked!
6. Now just have to Export Excel as CSV and done.

I know it probably sounds stupid, but it actually worked for me.
