Hello folks!
I have written a query that I need to save results of. Is there some statement that I can place at the top of my query (like we can do in Oracle through spool command) to specify the directoryfilename to save query results to? Eventually I need to schedule this to run daily via a DTS package.
Please let me know if you've come across this before?
Thanks so much!

Is there a way to save the results of a query (run in the Query Analyzer) to a text file?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0.
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.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Darrin Wilkinson
i jave the following query
select *,substring(stafflog,15,11) as test into #t1 from dbo.Customers

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.

I've got a query that returns the data I need. I want to put the query in a stored procedure such that, when the SP runs I get a pipe delimited text file on disk. I don't really want to mess with SSIS, etc. Is there a Q&D way to do this?

I have written this sample query to search a full-text indexed table and return the results.

Hi - I am trying to add paging to my stored procedure. The stored procedure successfully executes a full-text search. Unfortunately, the paging routine below the full-text search operates on the articles table after the search has been conducted. This means that it utilizes the row numbers from the entire table rather than the row numbers from the result set. I somehow need to the paging routine starting at "WITH tempArticles AS" to operate on the search results rather than the articles table. I am too new to SQL and can't figure out how to populate a temporary table storing text search results to use in this paging routine. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks! Peter dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150), @PageSize int, @PageNumber int AS Declare @RowStart int Declare @RowEnd int if @PageNumber > 0 Begin SET @PageNumber = @PageNumber -1; SET @RowStart = @PageSize * @PageNumber + 1; SET @RowEnd = @RowStart + @PageSize - 1 ; CREATE TABLE #results (ArticleID int) INSERT INTO #results SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText) /*this returns all matching records from the text search*/ SELECT * FROM articles, #results WHERE #results.ArticleID=articles.ArticleID; WITH tempArticles AS ( SELECT Title, PostDate, UserID, City, Country, Tags, StoryID, Approved, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by PostDate) as RowNumber FROM articles WHERE Approved = 1) SELECT * FROM tempArticles WHERE RowNumber >= @RowStart and RowNumber <= @RowEnd; END

HI
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.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
In 6.5 you could run a query and then make a flat file with whatever format

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.)
How can I export my query results to PDF file?

Hello,
We have some queries that are long and intensive. We have thought about running the queries and storing the data in a text file for lookup from our website.
Example: Our online store only displays items that are in stock so when a user selects a category a query runs and grabs only items that are in stock and then displays them. There could be thousands of items the query needs to sort through before displaying the items that are in stock. What if we ran this query once every hours an stored the results in a txt file? The asp page would then go to the text file to grab the results instead of having to run the query every time a user selects a category. Will this speed up the site by not having to query every time? Would this be a correct way to eliminate queries that run thousands of times a day?
thanks
Andy

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.
Is there a way to export query results to an excel fie and add that file as an attachment in the email? All this has to be done using SQL query and it needs to be automated. My coworker tried using Openrowset and BCP, but it is not working.
