I'm learning how to use bcp and am trying to work an example using the pubs database. I put this code in the command prompt and am getting this error:

CODE:
C:\>BCP PUBS.SALES.CURRENCY OUT CURRENCY.DAT -c -U -P -S(AO3\AO3)

ERROR:
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 17

I'm working on the database server and have tried -S(local) but still receive the same error. What am I doing wrong?

you must run this on the computer where the SQL Server is installed. not on the client computer.

Tried with this? Is instance name correct? By the way, you can run bco on sql server or sql client machine.

BCP PUBS.SALES.CURRENCY OUT CURRENCY.DAT -c -U some_id-P xxx -S AO3\AO3
