Hey guys

I am trying to use a BCP command on SQLSERVER 2005. I am getting some problem regarding it.

if I type the below code on command prompt

Bcp AdventureWorks.Sales.Currency out "c:\abc.txt" -c -T

Then the abc.txt is created on the C drive with all the values from that table.

but if I use my own table and write

Bcp test.dbo.tempInfo out "c:\abcd.txt" -c -T

then I will get this error
SQLState = 28000, NativeError = 18456
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client] [Sql server] login failed for user 'Chintamani\Chintamani'.

SQLState = 42000, NativeError = 4060
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client] [Sql server] cannot open database "test" requested by the login. The login failed

Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry Guys

      I was just a punk. I got it now.

I would clarify how I got it. I had two instances one was just Chintamani and another was Chintamani/Chintamani.

I had that AdventureWorks database on both of my instances but the test on later case.

So when I run the first BCP command it was using my first instance and executing that and similarly when I use second BCP command it was searching on my first instance and giving the error message. So I added the servername "-S Chintamani/Chintamani" on that command and now it is working.

Thank you guys for your time.

Hi Chintamani,

I have a similar problem. I am supposed to copy the result of a query into a flat file. After looking at your problem/solution, I tried the following:

Bcp Select.....From....Where..... out "c:\abc.txt" -c -T

Then I got the error:

How should I get it to work?

Thanks
