Question

I would like to export my query results to a .csv file (local). I have been googling for a while now…can’t seem to find a nice simple example out there. Thanks for the help.

Example:
“select top 3 * from table” to —–> “c:\data\test_data.csv”

Answer 1

You can use command line bcp or SQL Server Integration Services to do that

bcp "SELECT TOP 3 * FROM test.dbo.table1" queryout c:\temp\table1.csv -c -t, -T -S .\SQLEXPRESS
