I wrote a batch script with SQL statements in order to export data to a .csv file:
sqlcmd -S DBServer -U User -P Password -d DBName -s","
-Q "SET NOCOUNT on;SELECT <=0.1%, (0.1%,0.5%] FROM t" -o D:\output.csv ;
But the specific characters in column name <=0.1%、(0.1%,0.5%] make the batch file is not working.
What should be the correct approach for this select statement?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Need a Unix shell script to load the sqlServer table data into csv File.
Could some one please share the sample shell script.
Below Working:-->
sqlcmd -S $SQLHOSTNAME -U $SQLUSERNAME -P $SQLPASSWORD -d $SQLDATABASE -s" " -W -w 3000 -Q "SET NOCOUNT ON; $query;" | sed 2d >$csv_filename
Below is the code I am using in the batch script to BCP process.
call bcp.exe DBName.tablename out FILENAME.csv -e FILENAMEerr.txt -c -t"|" -U USER DETAILS -P PASSWORD -S Servicename -r"\n"
I try to run this on a SQL job:
sqlcmd -S . -d CI_Reports -E -s"," -W -Q "SET NOCOUNT ON SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Table]" > D:\Test.csv
How can I fix this error?
Sqlcmd: '> D:\Test.csv': Unexpected argument.
Have you tried like this -
sqlcmd -S . -d CI_Reports -E -s"," -W -Q "SET NOCOUNT ON SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Table]" -o D:\Test.csv
where -o output_file which would identify the file that receives output from sqlcmd.
Additionally you could try BCP which is best suited for bulk coping data between an instance of Microsoft SQL Server and a data file in a user-specified format.

I need to execute SQL from batch file.
I am executing following to connect to Postgres and select data from table
C:/pgsql/bin/psql -h %DB_HOST% -p 5432 -U %DB_USER% -d %DB_NAME%
select * from test;
I am able to connect to database, however I'm getting the error
'select' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Has anyone faced such issue?
This is one of the query i am trying, something similar works in shell script, (please ignore syntax error in the query if there are any)
copy testdata (col1,col2,col3) from '%filepath%/%csv_file%' with csv;
You could pipe it into psql
(
echo select * from test;
) | C:/pgsql/bin/psql -h %DB_HOST% -p 5432 -U %DB_USER% -d %DB_NAME%
When closing parenthesis are part of the SQL query they have to be escaped with three carets.
(
echo insert into testconfig(testid,scenarioid,testname ^^^) values( 1,1,'asdf'^^^);
) | psql -h %DB_HOST% -p 5432 -U %DB_USER% -d %DB_NAME%
Use the -f parameter to pass the batch file name
C:/pgsql/bin/psql -h %DB_HOST% -p 5432 -U %DB_USER% -d %DB_NAME% -f 'sql_batch_file.sql'
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html
-f filename
--file=filename
Use the file filename as the source of commands instead of reading commands interactively. After the file is processed, psql terminates. This is in many ways equivalent to the meta-command \i.
If filename is - (hyphen), then standard input is read until an EOF indication or \q meta-command. Note however that Readline is not used in this case (much as if -n had been specified).
if running on Linux, this is what worked for me (need to update values below with your user, db name etc)
psql "host=YOUR_HOST port=YOUR_PORT dbname=YOUR_DB_NAME user=YOUR_USER_NAME password=YOUR_PASSWORD" -f "fully_qualified_path_to_your_script.sql"
You cannot put the query on separate line, batch interpreter will assume it's another command instead of a query for psql. I believe you will need to quote it as well.
I agree with Spidey:
1] if you are passing the file with the sql use -f or --file parameter
When you want to execute several commands the best way to do that is to add parameter -f, and after that just type path to your file without any " or ' marks (relative paths works also):
psql -h %host% -p 5432 -U %user% -d %dbname% -f ..\..\folder\Data.txt
It also works in .NET Core. I need it to add basic data to my database after migrations.
Kindly refer to the documentation
1] if you are passing the file with the sql use -f or --file parameter
2] if you are passing individual command use -c or --command parameter
If you are trying the shell script
psql postgresql://$username:$password#$host/$database < /app/sql_script/script.sql
