SQL将数据导出到文件

Question

I'm trying to setup a job to export data to a file. The query for this is also in the job. It produces a temporary table called "temp_tickets".

That works.

Now I want to write the data to a file. I have this line for that:

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp esi_db.dbo.temp_tickets out D:\Websites\enn-portal\temp\esitdata.csv -f D:\Websites\enn-portal\XML\esittickets.xml -T'

The file is created, but is remains empty.

I have also tried it without the format file, but same result.

What is going wrong?

I have used this method on an other job and it works there, so why not here?

Answer 1

Managed to find the error by executing the bcp line in a regular query window instead of in the sql server agent step.

It provided me with some error data that helped me solve the problem (the format file was not right).
