Hi All,

I want a query or stored proc to retrieve the result set of a query into a Datafile.
I have tried using bcp which throws error as mentioned below:

SQL

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select
USERID_FK FROM ADM_USERROLES" queryout "D:\bcptest.txt" -T -c -t,'

for the above query I'm getting the error as

The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'.

Please suggest what can I do...

Thanks & Regards,
Mathi.

Well my suggestion would be to give "execute" permission to 'xp_cmdshell'

MSDN:
Because malicious users sometimes attempt to elevate their privileges by using xp_cmdshell, xp_cmdshell is disabled by default. Use sp_configure or Policy Based Management to enable it. For more information, see xp_cmdshell Server Configuration Option.

xp_cmdshell (Transact-SQL)[^]
SQL SERVER – Enable xp_cmdshell using sp_configure[^]
