I want to do a SQL sentence that saves the results from the select in a .txt file.
I get the results as a long list on the screen, and it repeats the headers several times, so it takes quite some time to copy the results out of there. It would be better if the result was put as a list directly in to a text file.
When I send my query results to a file in SQL Server Management Studio, how come I'm seeing the following in Notepad++? FH TEST "FH" which I thought should be in a CHAR(2) data column is there but "TEST" seems to start in Column 6...not column 3 as I would have expected. I was expecting... FHTEST.
I have to run a simple query (say select name from table where id = 4) and get those results and make it into a report. I am not sure I have crystal reports (do I have to install some thing for this?). So what is the easiest way to create this? May in in a spread sheet or some thing like this? I am so new to SQL Server Thanks
ERD above is what my database looks like (ignore it's in Access, database is in SQL 2005)
I have this code:
SELECT orderID, orderAmount = SUM(customerID)/customerID FROM orders GROUP BY orderID -- When Sum of the customer ID (and then) divided by the customer ID > 1 HAVING orderAmount > 1
which doesn't work because I never did find out how you make a column in the results to output your maths in. orderAmount doesn't exist as a column in the database, but for this query it should show only those customers who have ordered more than once with the company.
Test #1 Returns 20971 rows * 25 = 524,725 Test #2 Returns 14169 rows * 37 = 524,253 Test #3 Returns 6808 rows * 77 = 524,216 Test #4 Returns 5140 rows * 102 = 524,280
With the similarity of the total byte count returned, I would assume that a buffer or something is being overrun, is this a configuration parameter possibly.
If I perform the select against the linked table as such
Select * (for fields list) From LURCH_PARADB.S102D4LM.PARADB.BLHDR
I get all rows returned. The issue only exist when accessing the views that are created against the linked server.
I pulled some examples of using a subquery pivot to build a temp table, but cannot get it to work.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Pyr') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Pyr GO SELECT vst_int_id, [4981] AS Primary_Ins, [4978] AS Secondary_Ins,
[code]....
The problems I am having are with the integer data being used to create temp table fields. The bracketed numbers on line 7-10 give me an invalid column name error each. In the 'FOR', I get another error "Incorrect syntax near 'FOR'. Expecting '(', or '.'.". The first integer in the "IN" gives me an "Incorrect syntax near '[4981]'. Expecting '(' or SELECT". I will post the definitions from another effort below.
I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Hey all, I think I am asking the impossible but hey I`ll ask anyway! I`m trying to find a way to dump the results of a sp when it`s run. After searching archives reading up in bol and then some, the closest I got was to use cmdexec to run isql /Usa /P /Q "exec sp_myproc" /i "myprocrslts.txt". Now this is the outcome I want except I have to schedule this to run and I need it to run any time the sp gets called. How can I modify the sp to dump straight to file or trigger the task?

Is there any automated way to direct the results from a query in Query Manager to a file. I know I can select it from the Query drop down menu. For those familiar with Oracle, I am looking to do the equilavent to "Spool <fn>"
1. Flat File Source 2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY) 3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title) 4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this?
Im running a query using isql from the command line and outputting the results to a file. Ideally I'd like to have the file in csv format so that it can be used by a client to import the results into their system.
I can run a query and output the results to a file but get i dont get the csv format I require. I can separate the columns using /s parameter but I also additional space within the column fields.
I know it is possible to create the csv format using the SQL query tool and ISQL_w but I was wondering if there was some parameter that I can call that will format the output like the format options in ISQL_w allows me to do.
Is there a way in SQL Server 2000 to output your query results to a file (example comma-delimited) in the SQL CODE ITSELF? I know you can check the option under Tools->Options->Results but I want to have it do it in the SQL code. Thanks Eric
I am trying to bcp out a views result into a text file. And the records in the text file should be comma seperated and each record should be enclosed in quotations. For tab delimited you use in the bcp.Can anyone help what needs to be used in the bcp to get the results in the txt file as specified
I have a query (select * from table1) and I'd like to have the results of this query sent to a text file instead of the results windows when I run it from Query Analyzer.
I want to write a small program (maybe just a stored procedure) that will save the results and column names of a simple query to CSV file. This will then be copied onto disk and distributed to user who'll use Excel or a similar package to open the CSV file.
Any suggestions as to the best way to achieve this? I was considering using a view and then BCP but I have problems then when trying to open the CSV file in excel (or other spreadsheet package). Doesn't like the datatypes and so on.
Is there a simple way to do this? And is it possible to save the results in such a way that Excel will choose the right datatypes for the columns. (not convert varchar's like '000122' to numbers.)
select *,substring(stafflog,15,11) as test into #t1 from dbo.Customers where stafflog like '%armagh%' go select left(stafflog,4) as Staff,count(left(stafflog,4)) as Total from #t1 where cast(left(test,charindex(' ', test))as smalldatetime) = cast(convert(varchar(8),getdate()-1,1) as datetime) group by left(stafflog,4) go select Title,Address1,Address2,Town,County,Postcode,TelephoneDay,TelephoneWork,TelephoneEvening, MobileTelephoneNo,Contact,Mail,Telephone,Terms,StaffLog from #t1 where cast(left(test,charindex(' ', test))as smalldatetime) = cast(convert(varchar(8),getdate()-1,1) as datetime) go drop table #t1 go
i need this query to be scheduled to run at a certain time every day and the results to be put in a text file.
is there an easy way to do this or what should i be looking at doing to get it to work
After running a query (from the Query Builder) in SQL Server 2008 sometimes I can right-click on the results pane and "Save results as CSV file", other times it's not an option. After running a query for 24 hours (several million record results) I can't seem to do anything with the results. I have my settings:
Options | Query results | SQL Server | Default Destination for Results
set to "Results to File" and a path entered, but it doesn't work. Is there wording I can add to the end of my SQL statement such as "TO FILE xxx.csv" or something?
When exporting the results of a query to a file any values that are null are displayed as NULL in the file. Is there anyway to have them be blank instead? I looked around in the Studio but couldn't find anything that would do this globaly.
is there a way to print query results from mgt studio into a file with headings and formatting? When I "save as a" file, export file, spreadsheet, the results dont have headings and semi decent formatting.
