I'm not new to sql server, but making my first experience with xml in sql server 2005.
I have a query like this (based on <Table> with neccessary data):
SELECT TAG, PARENT, <columns...>
FROM <Table>
FOR XML EXPLICIT
This query creates a xml file exactly as i need it when i execute it in Management Studio. Well, with one exception. It does not write the <xml...> tag at the beginning of the xml file. But i'm sure i get that in there somewho else. What i need to do now is get that output to a file on disk. And that's where my problem starts.
I tried SQLCMD within Management Studio, but that doesn't accept the ':XML ON' tag and ignores it. the resulting file written is not usable, as it also contains query summary information.
SET @RowCnt = 1 SET @date = CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),110) SET @ArchPath = '\D$EDATAWorkFoldersSendSendData' SELECT @TotalRows = count(*) FROM table1 --select @ArchPath
WHILE (@RowCnt <= @TotalRows) BEGIN SELECT @AccountNumber = AccountNumber, @output_filename FROM table1 WHERE Identity_Number = @RowCnt --PRINT @AccountNumber --test SELECT @sql = N'bcp "SELECT h.HeaderText, d.RECORD FROM table2 d INNER JOIN table3 h ON d.HeaderID = h.HeaderID WHERE d.ccountNumber = ''' + @AccountNumber+'''" queryout "'+@ArchPath+ @output_filename + '.txt" -T -c' --PRINT @sql EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql SELECT @RowCnt = @RowCnt + 1 END
In my SSIS Package, I have to write my [FileHeaderRecord] row, then my [BatchHeaderRecord] row, then my details. How can I do this in a SQL Server Query? When I try my SSIS, my file looks like so..
FHTEST 00000208262015 BH000208262015
I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.
I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
I am trying to create an ssis package with dynamic csv file as output. and out format contains query output.
sample file name:
Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName] + ".CSV"
-- user filepath is a variable from ssis package. File name is the output from SQL query. using script task i have assigned the values to @[User::FileName] .
When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.
Hi all! My question is quite simple I think... I am directing the result of my query to an output file my problem is how to set the rowsize of my output file to more than 256 (that is the default maximum)? My query result is quite long per row (assuming one column) in query anlyzer, I can easily adjust the result to more than 256 but the result in the output file is truncated because the ouput is more than 256 characters per row...how can I set (in the code) the length of the row of the result in the output file... thanks for the help... this is quite urgent...
I have a header row and a footer row and a bunch of detail data I have managed to split up into temp db tables, know i need to know what would I need to do to write the header , detail data and footer to the same file after all my validations have completed , this would be a different file then the one I originally imported all the data from (append to text delimited file). Idealy I would only like to change the header and footer from the original file.
Any ideas - I am thinking of writing a application that does this for me and just executing it from SSIS but I would really like to stick with standard SSIS components first before starting to write my own stuff.
Is it possible to send the output of a query to a text file in a stored procedure? When I run stored procedure in Query Analyzer I am able to do that and I am wondering if this is possible in a automated way?
Hi, Is it the way use T-SQL to select text data from table and add them to the file on a HD, but save the information in the file without changes anything that was in the file before, another words without rewriting, just add?
I have a query something like this: select "bcp EISAT_08_18.."+name +" OUT C:"+ name+".TXT -c -t -SCJACOBI" from sysobjects where type = 'U' ORDER BY NAME When I run the above query I want to output the result of the query to a file. Can someone help me on that?

I am doing a ISQL join on 4 tables that creates a few million record output. This causes some memory grief on my laptop. How do I have my query output to my c: drive??
I have a DTS package that outputs the contents of a view into a CSV file, however when the view has no records, an empty file is still created, is there any way to stop this.
I dont want the file to be created if the view has no records.
In case i have a script file containt tables, functions, ... when i use Query Analyzer to run this file, the result output in a window. Now i want this result output to a file named logfile.txt. How can i do that?
hi, good day, can we output data from sql query into file ? for example, if i have a select sql statement which capture many records and i would like to output it into "tab" elimiter text file format
Hi everyone - I have a client who need to output some text from a stored procedure to a text file. The main problem is that it is a SOX system, so we can't use xp_cmdshell, and we can't create new tables. This rules out the following methods: DTSrun osql bcp
I then thought well maybe we can convert the SP to a DTS package. Well that can't work because he stores the text to be output in a #temptable, and I couldn't get DTS to do data transformation on a temptable.
I'm converting a terribly written ColdFusion script and migrating it to T-SQL (SQL Server 2012). My problem is, I'm having issues with how to get these loops sorted out. For instaces, the CF query wouold be something like :
<cfquery name = "getData" datasource = "db"> SELECT id, name, date FROM table </cfquery>
Following that, this query is looped into another set of queries:
<cfloop query = "getData"> <cfquery name = "getAddress" datasource = "globaladdress"> select * from globalAddress where addressID = '#addressID#' </cfquery>
[code]...
What I'm looking to do is turn the first query "getData" into the above loop, but rather in T-SQL.
I want to create a txt file from a table i have. I have the data in the correct formats but i want to include some padding around my selected four columns.
This is my first SQL trigger. I trying to create a trigger that will capture update operations on multiple columns within the same table, and output the content of those updates to a .txt file, local on the server.
I have searched this forum, but cannot locate the syntax of this command. Would someone be so kind as to provide an outline of the syntax required to do this? ie;
CREATE TRIGGER [Table_Change] ON [dbo].[table1] FOR UPDATE AS Update (column1, column2, column3) etc, etc....
Many thanks to all who reply. If I have overlooked this information already posted here, please direct me to the proper location.

Hi, just wondering if it is possible to have an insert trigger write out to a text file the inserted values of the latest row. If so some example code would be much appreciated
I am using SELECT FOR XML which is working great.My problem is writing the results out to the filesystem.I am using spWriteStringToFile procedure that uses Scripting.FileSystemObject to write the file.The file gets written and all of the "xml" is there, but there are no CR/LFs and parsers, browsers and validators don't like it.What can I do to get a more usable output file?
