BCP SQL exporting to CSV - mysql

Question

Im trying to run a Store procedure query to export to CSV file using bcp as a daily task on SQL server
using a normal query works fine for example
select #csv = 'bcp "select * from Table" queryout '+#FileAndPath2+' -c -t, -T -S' +##servername
However when I add my query which is a list of transactions data within a date range it seems to crash
#p_companyId uniqueidentifier = '189be460-99d1-42e9-b4ed-8de6f8724ce8',
#p_Path varchar(300) = 'C:\temp\','
#p_Date datetime = getutcdate
set #FileAndPath2=#p_Path + CONVERT(nvarchar(30), #p_Date, 112) + '_' + CONVERT(varchar(36), #p_companyId) + '_transactionslog.csv';
declare #csv varchar(8000)
declare #csvSQL varchar(8000)
set #csvSQL = 'SELECT TOP (100) [KICSDEV].dbo.MOVIEDETAIL.Title , [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.MemberId, [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.CreateDateTime as ''DateTime'' FROM [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG INNER JOIN [KICSDEV].dbo.MOVIEDETAIL ON [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.MovieDetailId = [KICSDEV].dbo.MOVIEDETAIL.MovieDetailId INNER JOIN [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBER ON [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.MemberId = [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBER.MemberId INNER JOIN [KICSDEV].dbo.CINEMA ON [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBER.CinemaId = [KICSDEV].dbo.CINEMA.CinemaId WHERE ([KICSDEV].dbo.CINEMA.CompanyId = '+ #p_companyId + ' and [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.CreateDateTime >= ' + #p_Date +' and [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.CreateDateTime < DATEADD (day , 1 , '+#p_Date+'))'
select #csvSQL
select #csv = 'bcp "'+ #csvSQL +'" queryout '+#FileAndPath2+' -c -t, -T -S' +##servername
exec master..xp_cmdshell #csv
When I run it comes up as "The data types varchar and uniqueidentifier are incompatible in the add operator." error
When i change the Company to the string instead of the variable in the query it works fine but errors on this.
set #csvSQL = 'SELECT TOP (100) [KICSDEV].dbo.MOVIEDETAIL.Title , [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.MemberId, [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.CreateDateTime as ''DateTime'' FROM [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG INNER JOIN [KICSDEV].dbo.MOVIEDETAIL ON [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.MovieDetailId = [KICSDEV].dbo.MOVIEDETAIL.MovieDetailId INNER JOIN [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBER ON [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.MemberId = [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBER.MemberId INNER JOIN [KICSDEV].dbo.CINEMA ON [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBER.CinemaId = [KICSDEV].dbo.CINEMA.CinemaId WHERE ([KICSDEV].dbo.CINEMA.CompanyId = ''189be460-99d1-42e9-b4ed-8de6f8724ce8'' and [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.CreateDateTime >= ' + #p_Date +' and [KICSDEV].dbo.MEMBERMOVIEPURCHASELOG.CreateDateTime < DATEADD (day , 1 , '+#p_Date+'))'
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
I think it something to do with all the delimiters and data types.

Several problems here. Think of the problem this way. You are building a command line parameter for a command line utility, so everything has to be built into a string.
Step 1: Make sure everything is a string before concatenating the query
You are missing some casts Cast(#p_companyId as VarChar(36)) and CAST( #p_Date as VarChar(25)) you also need to quote the cast of the company id and dates in the formatted string. I recommend making a new variable to have the UTC date as a string #p_DateAsStr varchar(25) = CAST( #p_Date as VarChar(25) ), instead of repeating that over and over.
Step 2: String values in the query need to be quoted
Since you are calling BCP you have to format the query as a string, string parameters need to be quoted. You have to use the single quotes because the string to BCP is in double quotes, for instance:
set #csvSQL = 'SELECT .... WHERE CompanyId = '''+ Cast(#p_companyId as VarChar(36)) + ''....'
Step 3: Convert any strings in the query back to native types as needed by built in functions
We are OK with the GUID specified as a string (if we quote it), but for DataAdd we need to convert back from string to date Like this
CreateDateTime < DATEADD (day , 1 , CAST(''' +#p_DateAsStr+''' as DateTime))
[Update] added a quoted string for the date
