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!

Executing and Running a BCP Command

Asked by ron_finnerty in MS SQL Server

Tags: Microsoft, SQL Server, 2000

I'm trying to run execute a BCP command using a format file.  I have multiple clients that require data exported in comma delimited with double quotes around the fields in a .txt file.

So if you have a table with multiple records one for example
8455558888 John Doe John Doe 55 Anywhere St. Anywhere NY 00000

I need
"8455558888","John","Doe","John Doe","55 Anywhere St.","Anywhere","NY","00000"

The File Format I created for one particular Client is below
8.0
8
1      sqlchar      0      10      """\r\n"""      phone      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
2      sqlchar      0      25      """\r\n"""      fname      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
3      sqlchar      0      25      """\r\n"""      lname      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
4      sqlchar      0      50      """\r\n"""      name      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
5      sqlchar      0      50      """\r\n"""      address      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
6      sqlchar      0      30      """\r\n"""      city      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
7      sqlchar      0      2      """\r\n"""      state      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS
8      sqlchar      0      5      """\r\n"""      zip      SQL_Latin1_General_CI_AS

I saved this file as test.dat in the root of my c: drive.

I'm not sure if this is even the correct file format for achieving doulbe quotes around all fields.

Next I would like to execute this in Query Analyzer.  I believe you use the -f command to do this.
The code I'm working with is

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp DBName..Table_Name OUT -f c:\test.dat e:\joe\examplel.txt -S imssql3 -t """,""" -c'

Any infomation that you could give would be helpful.
