A few things:

1. 'Allow Updates' has not done anything since SQL 2005 was released so you can drop that from your script. Reference

2. Do not use RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE; unless you have a good reason. I know SSMS spits it out when you script a change done through the GUI, but I would recommend against ever executing it in a script.

3. Are you sure you want to use xp_cmdshell? Only use it if you have no other options, and I am confident that I can help you find a better option. At a higher level than just "I need to get data from a table into a file", what exactly are you designing?

I need to get data from a table into a file txt.

Is this going to be an ongoing process or is it just a one-off?

This is an ongoing process, planned in the server

Are you on an Edition of SQL Server that has SQL Agent? In other words not SQL Express Edition?

If so, I would recommend you setup a SQL Agent Job to run bcp for you. When you setup the job, the Job Step Type will be "Operating System (CmdExec)" and in the command you will put your call to bcp. Then you can schedule the job to run as needed.

OPC has got it. An SQL Server Agent job with BCP is definately the answer.

If however you have an Express version, I would recommend creating an OS-level Batch Job that calls BCP and then running the batch using Windows Scheduler.

I tried this but the table is not exporting in txt file:

[SQL] DECLARE

@sql VARCHAR (8000) SELECT

@sql = 'bcp mytable out \\XX.XX.XX.XX\output.txt -T -c -t'

Affected rows: 0

Time: 0.041ms

Affected rows: 0

It's possible you are getting an error on the pathing that you don't see. The command will require that the account running SQL Server (service account) has rights to the \\xx.xx.xx.xx\xx share.

What you might try doing is double checking rights or changing to a local path for testing. Then if the bcp works, you can add the specific rights to the service account.

I'm sorry but it looks to me like that does nothing more than assign a string to a variable.

Have you looked into the previous suggestions made?
