Can't use bcp in SQL Server procedure

Question

I need to export data of sales between the last 4 years to a csv using a stored procedure, however the output of that just gives User
name not provided, either use -U to provide the username or use -T for Trusted Connection, then it gives the possible parameters to
give to the command. What am I typing wrong? I've double checked the servername and i'm using -T.
select
dateSales, Sales
into ##temp
from
dbo.Sales
where
dateSales between convert(varchar(20), year(DATEADD(YEAR, -4, getdate())))+'-01-01' AND getdate();
select * from ##temp;
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from ##temp" queryout "C:\Users\PatriceW\Documents\sales.csv" -c -T -SSQLserver -t, -r\r\n'
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Unfortunately I can't reproduce it in my local.
I tried belwo 2 in SSMS and also in Command prompt and both worked -
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from ##temp" queryout "C:\temp\sales.csv" -c -T'
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from ##temp" queryout "C:\temp\sales.csv" -c -T -S localhost'
My BCP is inside C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn.
Few things to check:
Ensure if the folder exists and you have permission to write to it. Try giving some local path.
Try running the bcp from SSMS and CMD both. If it runs from CMD then SQL Server account has no permissions
Do consider reading Permissions, Remarks section given in below:
