I am running SQL Server 2000 and need to output query data to a text file. If I run the following query (Below) using XP_CMDSHELL and BCP, it runs fine and creates a text file with the data output.
However, I need to change the WHERE Field1=10 to a string value WHERE Field1='abc'. When I try to do this I get a general error on the Field1='xyz'. I tried to change the quotes, etc but I am still getting the error.
Command:
Exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT Field1 FROM Table WHERE Field1=10" queryout c:filename.txt -U UserName -P Password /S SQLServerNam /c'
Hi,How would I go about writing the results of an SQL query to a textfile?I cannot find any info in the Online help files.For example, I would like the results of:SELECT * FROM TableATo be written to the file result.txtAlex
How would I be able to query a table (ie. all people with last name 'Smith'), have that set of data outputted to a regular text file (in a formatted way)
And what's the best way to manipulate that set of data to let's say update a Yes/No field in that table to mark that that those individuals('Smith') which were outputted in that text file?
What about the reverse? If I got a regular text file with Last Name, Social Security(delimited by tab), etc is there a way I can get SQL Server to read that text file and make an update to the database based on the Social security in that text file.
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 all, When I run a query in the sql query analyzer I need to write the output of that query in to another file. In Oracle its spool. Can someone help me on this please. Thank you!!!
I have an sp that runs a query in xp_cmdshell/BCP combo that puts the output into an XML file (using for xml auto hint on the end of the query).
I personally feel that I should now (under SQL 2K5) be able to do this within a query, not going any where near xp_cmdshell or bcp, and then use SSIS in the final step to ftp it up to the clients site.
It builds a command string in the sp, then runs that command string via xp_cmdshell.
I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to run a query within an SP with the output going to an XML file on the server automatically? AND that file to be a well formed XML file?
The query fails to execute and returns an error: String[1]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0. If I change the SqlDbType.Text parameter type to SqlDBType.Varchar, 100 (or any other fixed varchar length), it works but limits the length my unlimited field text. Any suggestions on how I can use db type text or varchar(max)? The field I need to retrieve is string characters of unlimited length and hence the datatype varchar(max).
