Backing online database table data to local machine

John Morgan

I have an online SQL Server database provided by an ISP. I do not have
permission to create a backup device and I understand this is normal
practice.

I am not using Enterprise Manager to administer the online database.

I know I can back up the structure of the database using SQL
scripts.

My question is:

How do I back up on my own machine the data contained in the online
database tables I have created? If I were using Enterprise Manager I
could do it by downloading tables using the DTS facility but how can I
do it without Enterprise Manager?

Is there some work around which I have missed eg creating a csv file
of the data?

Best wishes for 2005 to all those helpful people in this newsgroup!

You can take a proper backup from to your own machine, as the SQL
Server machine is not likely to have access to your disks, and anyway
I don't think network backups are not supported. But you seem to understand
that anyway, since you mention DTS.

DTS can be run with dtsrun from the command-line, but I assume that
you need Enterprise Manager to create the packages. Then again, I don't
know DTS, so don't take it from me.

But there is BCP. Run this query:

SELECT 'BCP ' + db_name() + '..' + name + ' out ' + name + '.bcp ' +
'-S Server -n -U usr -P pw'
FROM sysobjects
WHERE type = 'U'
AND objectproperty( id, 'IsMSShipped') = 0

The cut and paste that result into a BAT file that you run.

Here I have specified -n which means native format. You can use -c instead
to get character format, with tab delimiting columns and newline delimiting
lines. You can also specify other delimiters.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
