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

The easiest way to do this:

Use the Excel Data Import tools

• Go to Data > From Other Sources > From Sql Server
• Fill in the Server name etc.
• Select the table or view that you want to import.

Then Save the imported data to a CSV file. If you want to export a query then save your query as a view
