Issue
Exporting data from a table in database.
Product Line
BCP (Bulk Copy Program)
Environment
Command prompt window
Cause
Sometimes the customer may not be tech-savvy and it is easier to extract the required information by passing a command and asking them to run it from a DOS window.
Resolution
BCP is a utility that can be executed from the command line and has the following syntax:
Here is an example of how to extract data from 'Source' table in ION_Data:
C:\>BCP "select * from ion_data.dbo.source" queryout C:\Temp\SourceNames.txt -SCB9RBM313\ION -w -T
Where:
–S: specifies the instance name to connect to
-w: performs copy operation using Unicode characters
–T: designates a trusted connection and BCP uses the Windows credentials; In case there is no Windows credentials, –U (specifies the login name) and –P (specifies the password) can be used instead.
queryout: copies from a query and must be specified only when bulk copying data from a query
A text file is created in the specified destination.
