BCP QUERYOUT from a procedure?

Anyone ever BCP QUERYOUT from a stored procedure?

Something like this? Is this even possible?

BCP "exec usp_MyProc 1, N'SomeString'" QUERYOUT c:\Output.txt -SMyServer -T -N

Did you try it before posting the question? It worked for me.

|||Sure. We do this all the times.|||

Yep. I did. No luck.

It works if I do this:

Code Snippet

bcp "declare @.str nvarchar(255); set @.str = N'SomeVar'; exec usp_MyProc 1, @.str" ...

something odd there...hmm...

Works for me like this.

bcp "exec db4.dbo.get_employee 1" queryout c:\emp.txt -SSankar-P -T -c

sql

bcp failed when special characters {;" were used in the password from command line in Win 2

bcp worked with password in normal characters, but failed with {;"

I tried for SQL 2005 and SQL 2000, from Window 2003 SP1. Is this a bug?

When the special character { was used in the password, bcp failed with Native error 0.

Could you try :

bcp "sem5.sem5.server_system_log_1" in server_system_log_1.dat
-n -Smodonald -Usem5 -P"{"|||

I tried the followings but it didn't work.

bcp "sem5.sem5.server_system_log_1" in server_system_log_1.dat
-n -Smodonald -Usem5 -P"{"

bcp "sem5.sem5.server_system_log_1" in server_system_log_1.dat
-n -Smodonald -Usem5 -P'{'

bcp "sem5.sem5.server_system_log_1" in server_system_log_1.dat
-n -Smodonald -Usem5 -P\{

|||Please try {{} for pwd {|||

I opened a case and got an answer.

Based on the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 online help for “Strong Passwords[SQL Server]”,

>>

if used in an OLE DB or ODBC connection string, a login or password must not contain the following characters: [] {}() , ; ? * ! @.. These characters are used to either initialize the connection or separate connection values.

>>

As the result, SQL Server Enterprise Manager allows all special characters but the OLE DB or ODBC connection is different.

Thanks for following up your own post. It helps others when you share your solution.

BC30260 Error

I am getting this error that says "Natvie compiler return value [BC30260] 'EH_PID is declared as 'Class EH_PID' in this class."

Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it?

Nevermind, for some reason when I changed the name of the Dataset it works fine.
