Exporting Table Data (REALLY dumb question!)

[CorruptedLogic]

Ok, so i know this is a really simple question, and i think i know the answer, but i want to be sure before i do this on our production database!...If I export the data from a table in SQL Server, does the original data remain in the table and SQL just creates a copy of the data in Excel (or whatever i export to) or does it literally rip the data from the table, leaving it empty?

TIA...

It will leave the data intact. It will only select the data.
