I'm using BCP Utility to copy records out of table before deleting the records. The function is working just fine, however, I need to copy the records to a new file for the every time I delete, instead of override the same file (as it is now). It could be creating a new file with timestamp as prefix or something similar. Any ideas? My code
Declare @cmd varchar(1000) = 'bcp "select * from ##DeletedRecords" queryout
"C:\Delete\DeletedRecord.txt" -t, -c -T'
print @cmd
EXEC master..XP_CMDSHELL @cmd
just change the filename in the BCP command accordingly by appending date & time to the filename
example :
Declare @cmd varchar(1000);
select @cmd = 'bcp "select * from ##DeletedRecords" queryout '
+ '"C:\Delete\DeletedRecord'
+ convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 112) -- YYYYMMDD
+ replace(convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 108), ':', '') -- HHMMSS
+ '.txt" -t, -c -T'
print @cmd
EXEC master..XP_CMDSHELL @cmd
