If its a one time export (or something you are going to do manually) you can just right click inside the query window and say "results to" and select "File".

Or if you have access to it you can use SSIS (I doubt it if you do not have access to DTS).

If you have SS2005, then you have SSIS . . . which is the SS2005 replacement for DTS.  Exporting from SSIS is quite easy.

@Sirees,

The question is about exporting but BCP can be used for exporting as well.  

There is also an abilitiy in S2005 to use DTS but it takes some maneuvering and may require installing some additional components/DLL's/etc..

Try this:

declare @cmd varchar(4000)
select @cmd = 'bcp "select * from database..tablename" queryout "c:\Temp\Customer.csv" -c -Sservername -T'
print @cmd
exec xp_cmdshell @cmd

replace the Customer file name with whatever your table name is, of course. That was from a previous use.

 

by: ZberteocPosted on 2009-08-11 at 13:14:40ID: 25072863

-T is used for trusted connection and the file will be created on the server where you execute the code. The C:\Temp folder has to exist or whatever folder you want to use.
