How to export data from a table in SQL Server?

In SQL Server, there are two methods available to export data from a table:

1. Exporting data using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
2. Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the database server.
3. Locate and select the database you want to export data from in the Object Explorer.
4. Find the table from the database that you want to export data from and right-click on it.
5. Choose Tasks -> Export Data to open the Export Data Wizard.
6. In the data export wizard, follow the prompts to select the source table, target data source, and export options, then proceed with the export operation.
7. Export data to file using SQL query statements.
8. Retrieve the data you want to export using the SELECT statement, for example: SELECT * FROM TableName.
9. Save the query results to a text file, for example by using the bcp command:
   bcp “SELECT * FROM DatabaseName.SchemaName.TableName” queryout “C:\output.txt” -c -S ServerName -U UserName -P Password

   In this case, DatabaseName is the name of the database, SchemaName is the schema name, TableName is the table name, C:\output.txt is the output file path, ServerName is the name of the database server, UserName is the username, and Password is the password.

No matter which method you use, you can successfully export the data of a table to a file.
