I have come across manual queries being run daily and the results saved to a txt file on the network.
I basically want to set run these up a stored procedure and set up as a scheduled task to run daily.
Does anyone know if you can automatically save the results of a query/stored procedure to a text file on a network??
Many Thanks..
I have a stored procedure that outputs an XML result. As it is right now, I will periodically go into SQL Server Mngmnt Studio and run the procedure, then save the XML output to an XML file that my website uses. The procedure takes too long run (it is recursive through the entire data set) to have the website call the procedure on its own, and wait for the results.
My question is this: Can I create a trigger that will run this stored procedure and save the results to a file? Is that possible? The trigger would call the procedure any time a specific table is updated (which will be a rare occurrence), then save the file to the path provided so the website users could always have the most up-to-date information without having long wait times caused by long waits for the procedure to run.
Any advice on how best to accomplish this will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have a dynamic database that will be periodically queried to selectthe data from a blob field. This blob data field is text of a variablelength. The data will be selected using an id field and a date range.There will be multiple blob fields returned that I would like to outputinto a txt file in a local folder.I have the blob fields showing up as text in the field and not areferring link. Can someone point me to an output to text solution?Thanks

I am using vs 2005 and sqlserver 2005 to manage a large database. I need to create a series of text files based on the value of one of the columns. Is there an sql command that will pipe the output directly to a file?
Thanks,

I have been given a request at work that requires us to run the SQL scripts that are held in a report configuration table and output the results as .csv or.xls files in a desired folder with a file name that is also specified within the report config table.
An example of the table is as per script below with column A being the desired file name to be created and Column B contains the script that will be executed.
Ideally I require a script that i can drop into a Stored Proc that will run down each row in the table and export and create each rows results as a separate file in a desired folder.

Hi,
I was wondering is there was is a way in SQL 2005 to not only email job completion notifications but also include the output of a step (e.g. TSQL step) within the email. I was able to accomplish this in the past with SQL 2000 by writing output to a file and then adding an extra CMDEXEC step that exectuted BLAT (CLI SMTP engine) that sent the contents of the output file as email body out of band. Although this worked and I can do the same with 2005 it is not very elegant and I was wondering if 2005 version might have something built-in.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,

I am able to perform my Stored Procedure, but I can't figure out how to get access to the OUTPUT parameters!Here is my code: Protected Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim mySqlDataSource As SqlDataSource = New SqlDataSource
mySqlDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure
mySqlDataSource.ConnectionString = "my connection string"
mySqlDataSource.InsertCommand = "MyStoredProc"
mySqlDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("someId", TypeCode.Int16, 166)
mySqlDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("someNumber", TypeCode.Int16, 4)
' Add Some Parameter
Dim someParameter As Parameter = New Parameter("someParameterName", TypeCode.String)
someParameter.DefaultValue = New String("Some Value")
someParameter.Direction = Data.ParameterDirection.Output
mySqlDataSource.InsertParameters.Add(someParameter)
mySqlDataSource.Insert()
End Sub
Any ideas as to how I get the new value that was "hopefully" assigned to someParameter??? Thanks for any help
Hello, I have been working around this issue, but couldn't yet find any solution.I have a stored procedure that calls a method to do a certain repetitive work.In this function, I have a dynamic query, which means, that I am concatinating commands to the query depending on the input of the function.for example, there is an input for a function called "Id"Inside the function, if Id = 111I need to add " and ID <> 1" and if Id has another value I need to add " and ID = c.ID" something like that.Now, inside the function, I need to return a value by executing the above @SQLString as follows:EXEC @SQLStringWhen I need is something likeEXEC @SQLString, @Total OutputReturn (@Total)Are there any ideas ?regards

When I run my CLR/C# stored procedure inside Visual/BI Dev Studio, the results in a datatable are sent over pipe and displayed in output window without the grid format. I looked up inOptions and settings but couldn't find a way to change the format of output window to grid. I would like to be able to do that so I can copy/paste the results in excel.
I am rewriting several stored procedures that originally had lots of "multiplicated" code. I am aware that references to objects within dynamic SQL do not create dependencies, so I intend to add code that will generate the dependencies but will NOT produce any output in both the Results and Messages tabs, not be overly "messy" or complicated, and have the least impact on execution plan creation as possible.
As we use a dependency list of tables used to our support staff pinpoint possible data issues associated with each of these stored procedures.
I have tried a few methods already, including this:
SET @SQL = N'SELECT Column1,Column2 FROM dbo.TableName';
...
/***************************************************************************************/
/* This code block is only to establish dependency of objects used within dynamic SQL. */
/* */
/* SET statements are used so that no output is produced in Results or Messages tabs. */
/* Object existence check avoids error 208, "Invalid object name" message. */
/***************************************************************************************/
DECLARE @DependentObject SQL_VARIANT;
IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.TableName', N'U') IS NOT NULL
SET @DependentObject = ( SELECT TOP (1) Column1,Column2 FROM dbo.TableName);
/* End code for dependency of objects used within dynamic SQL */
I can create 1 view of a database then use that views results to query
but i want do this with a stored procedure
pass some data to it, so it selects some data
query the results it created and output this data.
ie
pass 2 values to the procedure
(
@FirstValue int,
@secondValue int output
)
select from a database with the firstpassed value
Select *
From TableName
Where ID = @FirstValue
Then
using the results from the above select
Select *
From theResultsOfAbove
Where ID = @SecondValue
any ideas would be fabo !
If I use msdb..sp_send_dbmail or save query results as text (using sqlcmd) and include the column headers I get the dashed separator line.
e.g.
custID, name
------, ------
1,bob
2,jamesI would like this
custID, name
1, bob
2 ,james
I found this method [URL] ....
::
sqlcmd -E -S (local) -d myDB -W -w 1024 -s "," -i "SELECT * FROM tblCust" | findstr /V /C:- /B > C: emp.csv
Can the same result be achieved sending as attachment with dbmail?
EXEC msdb..sp_send_dbmail @attach_query_result_as_file = 1I don't want to have to add column names as part of the query
Change the query to return column headers in resultset
SELECT 'CustID' as f1, 'name' as f2
UNION ALL
SELECT CAST(CustID as Varchar(10)), name FROM tblCustand set
msdb..sp_send_dbmail @query_result_header = 0
Hey,
I'm looking for a good way to rewrite my T-SQL code with 'bcp' to SSIS package, any help would be greatly appreciated?
I have table1 contain account numbers and output-filename for each account,
I need to join table2 and table3 to get data for each account in table1, and then export as a txt file.
Here is my code using bcp (bulk copy)
DECLARE @RowCnt int,
@TotalRows int,
@AccountNumber char(11),
@sql varchar(8000),
@date char(10),
@ArchPath varchar(500)
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 = '''

This should be incredibly simple and easy, but I can't find any examples of how to do this.
I just want to make a File System Task move a file, and have the destination be filename + date and time. For example \serversharefilename02072007.txt

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.
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?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

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'm using SQL Server 2005 / 9.0.3042
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.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, All
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.
Thanx in advance

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?
TIA,
