    Hello, pawel.sowka.

    Sorry for troubles, you should use full table name in your sql query: DATABASENAME.SCHEMANAME.TABLENAME

    I will fix description for procedure running today.

  • Thanks for the script. I may have a use for this one. Thanks again.

    Thank you for your reply. I updated procedure description on github (for using full name for tables): https://github.com/ktaranov/sqlserver-kit/blob/master/Stored_Procedure/usp_bcpUnloadSelect.sql

  • The procedure kept failing with error - Invalid Object Table Name

    This is because the database context is not supplied in the bcp string and it defaults to the master database

    see updated script

    a. Db name variable is added.

    b. This can be passed as a parameter value

    or it can be auto supplied based on the current database

    c. The executing BCP command is updated to include the database parameter

    -- Tested and worked

    ps

    Procedure call updated to turn on/off xp_cmdshell
