Stored Procedure to Import and Export

You need to pass three parameters, a valid file path, direction either IN or out, and a valid table name or view name.  Using these parameters, a BCP command is built as a dynamic sql as pass to extended stored procedure xp_cmdshell.

Listing 6

Create procedure dbo.IMPEXPFROMDB
@filepath   varchar(255), --filepath
@direction  varchar(5) ,  --direction(In/Out)
@tablename  varchar(255)  --Valid tablename/viewname  
as
begin
set nocount on
 
      Declare @cmd            varchar(1000)     
      Declare @dbname         varchar(1000)
 
      /* Validation for filepath */
      If (@filepath is null)
      begin
            Raiserror('Please enter the FilePath ',16,1)
            Return
      end   
      
      /* Validation for Direction  */
      If (@direction is nullor (@direction Not In('In','Out'))
      begin
            Raiserror('Please enter the Direction(In/Out)',16,1)
            Return
      end
 
 
      /* Validation for Table name */
      If (@tablename is null)
      begin
            Raiserror('Please enter the Tablename or Viewname',16,1)
            Return
      end
      else if (Object_id(@tablename)is null)
      begin
            Raiserror('Please enter a Validate Tablename or Viewname',16,1)
            Return
      end
 
 
      --Get the database name.
      set @dbname = db_name()
      
--bcp command.
set @cmd = 'bcp  '+@dbname+'..'+@tablename+' '+@direction+'  '+@filepath+' -c -S -U -P'
 
 
      --To run the bcp using extended stored procedure.
      exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
 
set nocount off
end

Thanks for the overview. What I'm trying to work with is the format file to define the data import from a text (or native) file into a table where the schema doesn't exactly match
