Export all tables to CSV files

[Jack]

I am trying to write a DTS package to export all the tables in a database to CSV files and I hope to do this with the DTS paclage picking up all the table names from the information_schema view.

I know how to extract all table names into a recordset and store in a global variable.
I know how to iterate the recordset and call a task parameterised with the table names.

Please would someone help me with the Data Pump task to export the table to a CSV.

Thank you.. Jack

Can you use this in a loop then ?

The problem with the DataPump task is that you must set the source and
destination column collections and then add transforms between them all.
Whilst you could write some ActiveX Script to handle this, it is rather
hard work.

Personally I use a custom task I wrote, and then wrap this in a loop via
script. I can send you a demo package if you want.
