Answer 1

In order to user the bpc, it is important to know the schema of your database.
I believe the Export will look something like this:
bcp "Select Column1, Column2 FROM Database.Schema.Table" queryout
C:\bcp_outputQuery.txt -SYourServerName -T -c
OR something like this:
bcp DatabaseName.Schema.TableName out C:\Data\tableout.txt -c –T
For the import it would look something like this:
bcp Database.Schema.Table in
C:\bcp_outputQuery.txt -SYourServername -T -c
