]

Enabled the xp_cmdshell

By default disabled in SQL 2005 for security reasons.

To enable it, use the Surface Area Configuration tool or sp_configure

To enable xp_cmdshell using sp_configure, use below query :

EXEC master.dbo.sp_configure ‘show advanced options’, 1

RECONFIGURE

EXEC master.dbo.sp_configure ‘xp_cmdshell’, 1

RECONFIGURE

Steps 2:

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell ‘bcp “select * from Adbrite..Adtype” queryout “c:\text.txt” -U sa -P sa123-c -t^| -x’

Database Name : Adbrite

Table Name : Adtype

Sql User Name : sa

Sql Password : sa123

delimiter option : t^|
