How to export data as CSV format from SQL Server using sqlcmd?
I want to generate CSV file using select query in SQL-server.
The code below is working correctly in mySQL:
select * into outfile 'd:/report.csv' fields terminated by ',' from tableName;
It generated the CSV file.
Does anybody know how can I create a CSV file using select query in SQL-server?
Will this do the work
sqlcmd -S server -U loginid -P password -d DBname -Q "select * from tablename" -o output.csv
EDIT:
Use -i
options if you want to execute a SQL script like -i sql_script_filename.sql
SQLCMD -S MyInstance -E -d sales -i query_file.sql -o output_file.csv -s
You can use OPENROWSET()
to read from a CSV file within a T-SQL query but AFAIK you can't write to one. This is really what SSIS/DTS is for.
If you're working with it interactively in SQL Server Management Studio you could export a grid to a file.
