Unable to create a stored procedure in SSMS

Question

I am trying to create a stored procedure in SSMS to export the query result to CSV. But I am getting below error while creating.

SQL statement:

CREATE PROCEDURE SelectUsers
AS
    SELECT * 
    FROM [IMBookingApp].[dbo].[usertest]
    INTO OUTFILE 'C:/S3/users.csv'
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    ENCLOSED BY '"'
    LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
GO;

Error

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure SelectUsers, Line 4 [Batch Start Line 0]
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INTO'

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

try the following:

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "[IMBookingApp].[dbo].[userTEST]" out "c:\S3\users.csv" -c -t, -T'

or try

bcp "select * from [IMBookingApp].[dbo].[userTEST]" queryout "c:\S3\users.csv" -c -t, -T 

from the command line
