Hi

Why am I not able to use a table created via CTE with xp_cmdshell to dump it to a text file?
cPRLDetails AS
(
SELECT 1,2,3
FROM [dbo].[VmyVIew] vsp
)
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "Select * FROM cPRLDetails ORDER BY PartExt05" queryout "p:\targetfile.txt" -c -T'

I get the following error
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'cPRLDetails'.

Thanks

It's out of scope.

Your bcp command is running in the default database of your windows account, which is probably master.

SELECT * FROM dbName.dbo.cPRLDetails

I haven't a clue if it'll work with a CTE though.

Ok it is working with CTE had to do the following to it in case anybody needs to try this

cPRLDetails AS
(
SELECT 1,2,3
FROM [dbo].[VmyVIew] vsp
)
SELECT PartExt05,
PartMat,
PartD,
PartL,
PartW,
PartQty
INTO PRLDetails
FROM cPRLDetails

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT * FROM [dbname].dbo.PRLDetails Order By PartExt05 DESC" queryout "\\domainname\ShareFolder\Export.txt" -T -c -S[SQLServerName]'
BEGIN
IF OBJECT_ID('PRLDetails') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.PRLDetails ;
END
