Dear buddies,

I am trying to convert a table from Sql server 2005 to flat file/text file.

I used this SQL and getting error as given below.

SQL: bcp database_name.schema_name.table_name out output.dat -c -U user_id -S computech01\sqlserver2005

Error: Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near '.'.

I tried this and didn't work either:

bcp [database_name.schema_name.table_name] out output.dat -c -U user_id -S computech01\sqlserver2005

error:Msg 179, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Cannot use the OUTPUT option when passing a constant to a stored procedure.

Please guide me.

Thanking in advance.

Nith

the first option should work.. try enclosing the server name in quotes..
