BCP output

Hi All,
The syntaxt below is not outputting any text file at the location
specified. Any Ideas !
use tempdb
go
Create view vw_bcpMasterSysobjects as
select
name = '"' + name + '"' ,
crdate = '"' + convert(varchar(8), crdate, 112) + '"' ,
crtime = '"' + convert(varchar(8), crdate, 108) + '"'
from master..sysobjects
go
declare @.sql varchar(8000)
select @.sql = 'bcp "select * from
tempdb..vw_bcpMasterSysobjects
order by crdate desc, crtime desc"
queryout c:\sysobjects.txt -c -t, -T -
S'
+ @.@.servername
exec master..xp_cmdshell @.sql
Thanks in advance
bcp "select * from tempdb..vw_bcpMasterSysobjects order by crdate
desc, crtime desc" queryout d:\sysobjects.txt -c -t, -T -SA03
is working fine . Put the bcp in a single line . There is no space
between S and server name . Also be aware , this will create a file in
SQL Server System and not in client system where you execute the code

1 line , not spread across 3.

It was the bcp syntax splitted into 3 lines.
Thanks again.

1. Make sure that the bcp command is in one line.
2. Print the contents of the @.sql variable and post it here.
3. Also provide error messages.

bcp

Any ideas why this wont work?
bcp {Pic_Count_Import} in \\DATASRVR\InetPub\wwwroot\images\Pic_Count.txt -q -t "," -SDATA -U"aa" -P"blah"
Thanksdrop the squirrelly brackets around the table name and the quotation marks around the user name and password.

Generally, when I use bcp I explicitly state the table in the form <database name>.<owner name>.<table name>.

What error message or undesired results are you getting?|||I changed it to this
bcp dbo.Pic_Count_Import in \\DATASVR\InetPub\wwwroot\images\Pic_Count.txt -q -t "," -SDATA -Uaa -Pblah

Still I get syntax error near '.'

What error message or undesired results are you getting?|||from books online, bcp utility, overview:

-q

Executes the SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS ON statement in the connection between the bcp utility and an instance of SQL Server. Use this option to specify a database, owner, table, or view name that contains a space or a quotation mark. Enclose the entire three-part table or view name in double quotation marks (" ").

I would suggest dropping the -q argument. Try it and let us know.|||Same

That is where I am doing this..

preceded with EXEC bcp....

or should I be using BULK INSERT ?

not sure what the differences are?|||bcp is a command line utility. You can run bcp within a stored procedure but you need to use xp_cmdshell. You should use the bulk insert tsql statement instead - also have you looked at using the bulk insert task in dts ?|||Also know that bcp can import/export while bulk insert can only copy a data file in sql server (one-way only)
