SELECT * FROM your_table_name; - Replace “your_database_name” with the name of your database, and “your_table_name” with the name of your table.
- Execute a query to view the data in the table.
- Open a table using SQL Server command-line tools (such as SQLCMD).
- Open the command prompt or PowerShell and execute the following command: sqlcmd -S server_name -d database_name -U username -P password
- Replace “server_name” with the SQL Server instance name, “database_name” with the database name, “username” with the login username, and “password” with the login password.
- Execute the following T-SQL command to view the data in the table: SELECT * FROM your_table_name;
