The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help with exporting data using BCP

Asked by trojan_uk in MS SQL Server

Tags: bcp, queryout

Hi,
I am trying to use BCP to export data from a table into multiple CSV files based on the telephone number. I run the query in QA and what I get back is:

usage: BCP {dbtable | query} {in | out | queryout | format} datafile
  [-m maxerrors]            [-f formatfile]          [-e errfile]
  [-F firstrow]             [-L lastrow]             [-b batchsize]
  [-n native type]          [-c character type]      [-w wide character type]
  [-N keep non-text native] [-V file format version] [-q quoted identifier]
  [-C code page specifier]  [-t field terminator]    [-r row terminator]
  [-i inputfile]            [-o outfile]             [-a packetsize]
  [-S server name]          [-U username]            [-P password]
  [-T trusted connection]   [-v version]             [-R regional enable]
  [-k keep null values]     [-E keep identity values]
  [-h "load hints"]
NULL

In the grid view and (12 row(s) affected) x 212 in the messages view. There are 212 distinct telephone numbers so the loop is working correctly if I use PRINT i get

BCP "select Call_Orig from Abrient..[0800] where Call_Orig='08009705582' queryout "Number_08009705582.CSV"  -c -S ***.***.*.** -U **** -P **********

And that all looks ok, but it's not producing any files, I have added myself to sysadmin, I have also ran directly on the server machine, I have also tried several variations of the code below but with no success.
******************************************************************************************
DECLARE @CallOrigID  VARCHAR(11)
DECLARE @BCPString  VARCHAR(8000)


DECLARE cCallOrig CURSOR FOR
SELECT DISTINCT Call_Orig
FROM [0800]


OPEN cCallOrig

FETCH NEXT FROM cCallOrig
INTO @CallOrigID

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
  SET @BCPString = 'BCP "'
  SET @BCPString = @BCPString + 'select Call_Orig from Abrient..[0800] where Call_Orig=''' + @CallOrigID + ''''
  SET @BCPString = @BCPString + ' queryout '
  SET @BCPString = @BCPString + '"C:\OutputData\Number_' + @CallOrigID + '.CSV" '
  SET @BCPString = @BCPString + ' -c -S ***.***.**.*** -U **** -P *********'




exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @BCPString

  FETCH NEXT FROM cCallOrig
  INTO @CallOrigID
END

CLOSE cCallOrig
DEALLOCATE cCallOrig
******************************************************************

If anybody could help me with this that would be great.

Cheers
Peter
