bcp

Someone please help me here. Been looking at this for a couple of hours now but leading to nowhere. I created a table in SQL Express 2008 R2 using the following script: CREATE TABLE Features ( ID int not null identity(1,1 ), StopID varchar(10), Code int, Name varchar(100), Summary varchar(200), Lat real, Lon real, street varchar(100), city varchar(50), region varchar(50), postcode varchar(10), country varchar(20), zone_id varchar(20), the_geom geography CONSTRAINT [PK_Features] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW

I have a stored procedure generating XML with FOR XML functionality. When I run the stored procedure, I get beautifully formatted XML as a result. When I try to export this result into a file with bcp declare @sql varchar(8000) select @sql = 'bcp "exec sp_ExportXml" queryout C:\Filename.xml -S (local) -T -w' exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql I get a badly formatted with line breaks inside the xml tags e.g. <Division>3</Divi sion> I am completely clueless, I tried several different parameters for bcp queryout but always getting the same result. Any ideas are highly appreciated! Thanks Bobby Is the

I created a table in SQL server like: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ [myId] [smallint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [name] [nchar](10) NOT NULL, [value] [int] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_metadado] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [myId] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] I want to import a file in my table using xml formater. I got a problem because my table had "myId". I think it's a bug in bcp because, if i don't add myId column, the importation works fine. File: Test 0010000290 Xml format file: <BCPFORMAT xmlns="http

I need to BCP a table into a tab-delimited file, but I need the column names in the first record of the table. Question 1: Am I right that BCP does not have a switch for this? Question 2: If not, why? I tried to do the following: BCP "declare @colnames varchar(max); select @colnames=coalesce (@colnames+char(9), '') + Column_Name from db.information_Schema.columns where table_name='table1' order by ordinal_position; select @colnames" queryout Table1_Columns.tsv -S?? -U?? -P?? -f** -e** The format file looks like this: 9.0 1 1 SQLCHAR 0 100 "\r\n" 1 Column_Names SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS This

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 around the field names, instead it puts it around the commas! How can I get the /t"\",\"" to put quotes around all fields. Thanks all Paul Creasey Setting the row terminator in addition to the field terminator should do the trick 'bcp DBName..vieter out c:\test003.txt -c -T -t"\",\"" -r"\"\n\"" -S SERVER' This will likely work, but miss off the leading " for the first field of the first line, and perhaps the last field of the last line - I'm not sure, just

Below is an example of the BCP Statement. I'm not accustomed to using BCP so your help and candor is greatly appreciated I am using it with a format file as well. If I execute from CMD prompt it works fine but from SQL I get the error. The BCP statement is all on one line and the SQL Server Agent is running as Local System. The SQL server, and script are on the same system. I ran exec master..xp_fixeddrives C,45589 E,423686 I've tried output to C and E with the same result EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp "Select FILENAME, POLICYNUMBER, INSURED_DRAWER_100, POLICY_INFORMATION, DOCUMENTTYPE, DOCUMENTDATE,
