    Hi,

    i need to export data from a view to a PSV file.

    I'm traing to do this t-sql:

    exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from [database]..test1" queryout "c:\Import.psv" -T -S "server\instancename"'

    I receive an error:

    Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot resolve collation conflict for replace operation.

    I want to export this data to a unicode PSV so that people from Oracle can import it.

    Can someone help please?

    thank you

    Use this format...

    declare @sql varchar(8000)

    declare @path varchar(8000)

    set @path ='d:\import.psv'

    select @sql = 'bcp "set fmtonly off select * from db_name.DBO.table_name" queryout '+@path+' -c -t^ -T -S' + @@servername

    exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql

    this will give u the Psv format with tab delimiter..

    By Rajesh

    Booksonline and google are great resources, but if you need an example, here's both an out and in in:

    --using a super special 4 char row delimiter to be sure it doesn't exist in the data

    --flags explanation:

    -- -c = charcater data

    -- -t"[||]" = field terminator

    -- -r"[~~]" = row terminator

    -- -T' = Trusted connection

    --out

    EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT EMAILTEMPLATESID, EMAILBODY FROM Sandbox.dbo.EMAILTEMPLATES ORDER BY EMAILTEMPLATESID" queryout c:\Data\bcpExample.txt -c -t"[||]" -r"[~~]" -T'

    --in

    EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp Sandbox.dbo.EMAILTEMPLATES in c:\Data\bcpExample.txt -c -t"[||]" -r"[~~]" -T'

    --in via bulk insert

    BULK INSERT EMAILTEMPLATES FROM 'c:\Data\bcpExample.txt'

    WITH (

    DATAFILETYPE = 'char',

    FIELDTERMINATOR = '[||]',

    ROWTERMINATOR = '[~~]',

    FIRSTROW = 1

    )

    This is a related question, hoping someone on this thread can answer it.

    I've had a working bcp process for months that creates a CSV file on a network drive. Here's the command:

    'bcp "exec [dbname].[dbo].ExtractData" queryout ' + @destFolder + @fileName + ' -t \, -T -c'

    When @destFolder = "\\[server_name]\UploadFiles" it works

    If I change @destFolder to: "\\[server_name]\9 Auto Generated Upload Files\" with spaces in the folder name, it doesn't work.

    I can work around this, but does anyone know of a way to force bcp to accept spaces in the destination folder?

    Thanks in advance,

    Sigerson

    Thanks in advance,

    it's the usual command line thing: files or paths that contain spaces must be wrapped with double quotes

    your code modified:note the dbl quotes that make up the path+file, and also for the t delimiter

    'bcp "exec [dbname].[dbo].ExtractData" queryout "' + @destFolder + @fileName + '" -t "\", -T -c'

    @lowell,

    Thanks for the quick answer. Yes, a rookie mistake. (pause for hanging head in shame)

    Is there a word for having to learn so many fine points that one begins to forget the basics? :ermm:

    Thanks again,

    Heh... we can coin a new phrase, Lowell. "NPL" for "No Personal Life". I won't hazard the pronunciation of the acronym, though. 😛
