I am trying to use the MS SQL Server 2005 Import/Export tool to export

  • 0

I am trying to use the MS SQL Server 2005 Import/Export tool to export a table so I can import it into another database for archival. One of the columns is text so if I export as comma-delimited, when I try to import it into the archive table, it doesn’t work correctly for rows with commas in that field. What options should I choose to ensure my import will work correctly?

    Over a year later, I now have an ideal solution to my data export needs, thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20363/

    bcp "SELECT * FROM CustomerTable" queryout "c:\temp\CustomerTable.bcp" -N -S SOURCESERVERNAME -T 

bcp TargetDatabaseTable in "c:\temp\CustomerTable.bcp" -N -S TARGETSERVERNAME -T -E
    • -N use native types
    • -T use the trusted connection
    • -S ServerName
    • -E Keep identity values specified in the data file

    Very quick and easy to embed within code.
