How to export SQL database tables into multiple XML Files?

  • Please go back and read the reply from Scott Pletcher and myself.

    I agree that it sounds like you're trying to do a server to server transfer.  With the exception of converting to EDI, using XML to do such a thing is one of the worst ways to do it.  Using a "native" type of BCP Export would be much better, produce much smaller files, and load MUCH faster on the other end.

    BCP (Bulk Copy Program) is a command line tool that comes with SQL Server.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
