Output format syntax

  • I need to output a query result in tab delimited format. I need the syntax. I use dbaseiii all the time and cvs once in a while, but I need to export this data using Tab delimited. Thanks

  • Have a look at DTS. You can easily export to a flat file in any format you need.

    Alternatively, if ti's a one-off, you can copy and paste the results from query analyser.

  • DTS is the easiest. You could probably make BCP work, but not worth it.

    You can "save as" from Query Analyzer in csv, but then would need to open in dbase and export as tab.

  • What I was thinking was that if it is a one-off, in QA,Query,Current Connection Options, Advanced, you can set the result output format as tab delimited, and copy and paste from there.
