SQL Server BCP: How to put quotes around all fields?

Question

I have this BCP command:

\'bcp DBName..vieter out c:\\test003.txt -c -T /t\"\\\",\\\"\" -S SERVER\'

The output CSV I get does not put quotes ar

Answer 1

The actual workable answer, that removes the leading quote, is to :

A) generate format file with bcp :

bcp db.schema.tabel format nul -c -x -f file.xml -t"\",\"" -r"\"\r\n" -T -k

B) edit that file to manually copy field 1 to field 0 above, as the first field, set Max_Length=1 and remove the separator and one quot the was in field1

The trick works, as you are adding a field (interface to the file) to detect the first seprator, which results in an always null-value, but not add a row (interface for the query output).
