There is no BULK EXPORT that is the inversion of BULK INSERT. You can
spawn the BCP command from xp_cmdshell, but xp_cmdshell is disabled on
SQL 2005 by default, and your DBA may not want to enable it.

Keep in mind that SQL Server is a server application, and it mainly
works with data in the database, and talk with clients over the network.
Things like reading files is mainly a duty for client programs to do.
