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?

Inside some TSQL programmable object (a SP/or a query in Management Studio)I have a parameter containing the name of a StoreProcedure+The required Argument for these SP. (for example it's between the brackets [])

I am trying to update a table and then also use OUTPUT clause to capture some of the columns. The code that I am using is something like the one below
UPDATE s
SET Exception_Ind = 1
OUTPUT s.Master_Id, s.TCK_NR
INTO #temp2
FROM Master_Summary s
INNER JOIN Exception d
ON d.Id = LEFT(s.Id, 8)
AND d.Barcode_Num = s.TCK_NR
WHERE s.Exception_Ind IS NULL
The above code is throwing an error as follows:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Process_Step3, Line 113
The multi-part identifier "s.Master_Id" could not be bound.
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Process_Step3, Line 113
The multi-part identifier "s.TCK_NR" could not be bound.
I’m thinking about the best way to run these queries, which need to be run regularly.
The first query is two tables linked, one is a data table containing a unique person identifier and three activity fields, the second a lookup table with an activity_type linked to the activity in the table data.
Data Table
PersonID
Lots of other fields
Activity1
Activity2
Activity3
The ACTIVITY fields can contain data anywhere between all being NULL and all being complete.
Lookup Table
ActivityID
ActivityDesc ( which appears in Activity 1 – 3)
ActivityType
I’d like to create a function which will create a recordset containing the Person ID and the Activity Type. I am unsure as to whether to do this in a way which will create one record for each person, or potentially 3 records for each person. This is how I have done the 3 records:
SELECT PersonID, Activity1 As Sport, ActivityType
From dbo.tblActivity
LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLUActivityType ON dbo.tblActivity.Activity1 = dbo.tblLUActivityType.ActivityDesc
UNION
SELECT PersonID, Activity2 As Sport, ActivityType
[Code] ...
And this is how I have done the 1 record:
SELECT ClientID,
Activity1,
(SELECT ActivityType from dbo.tblLUActivityType where ActivityDesc = Activity1) As ActivityType1,
Activity2,
(SELECT ActivityType from dbo.tblLUActivityType where ActivityDesc = Activity2) As ActivityType2,
Activity3,
(SELECT ActivityType from dbo.tblLUActivityType where ActivityDesc = Activity3) As ActivityType3
From dbo.tblActivity
LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLUActivityType ON dbo.tblActivity.Activity3 = dbo.tblLUActivityType.ActivityDesc
Order by PersonID
The reason I would like to do this is because I need to create a stored procedure which returns one record per person with two fields (Person Id, ActivityType) which states their ActivityType depending on certain rules:
Rule 1: If any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘O’ report the Person ID and ActivityType = ‘O’
Rule 2: Of the rest of the recordset, if any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘N’ but none of Activity 1-3 are ‘O’ or ‘A’ then report the Person ID and ‘N’.
Rule 3: Of the rest of the recordset, if any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘A’ but none of Activity 1-3 are ‘O’ or ‘N’ then report the Person ID and ‘A’.
Rule 4: Of the rest of the recordset, if any of Activity 1 – 3 are ‘A’ and one of the is ‘N’ then report the Person ID and ‘AN’.
At the end this I’m looking for one recordset with two fields containing a personID and one of ‘O’, ‘A’, ‘N’ or ‘AN’. I can do the first part of this in any way necessary, as long as the second part returns the recordset I need.

This code works pretty well. But I don't want to do this with "select" since there is OUTPUT clause in T-SQL. So the CommandText property will be changed into this;
command.CommandText = @"insert PERMISSION
output INSERTED.ID, INSERTED.CREATETIME into @outID, @outCREATETIME
values(2, getdate(), getdate(), 'sdfg', 1, DEFAULT);";
well, not only this statement gives an error while executing; but also, no such usage defined in the
documentation of OUTPUT Clause. Actually the documentation tell us to use Temporary Tables for that. So I have to change CommandText into this;
command.CommandText = @"DECLARE @MyTableVar table(ID int, CREATETIME smalldatetime);
insert PERMISSION
output INSERTED.ID, INSERTED.CREATETIME into @MyTableVar
code]....
No temporary tables required; thus, no "type spesific" things required. This way is easier to create dynamic queries though. Only,the RETURNING INTO clause.So, I was wondering; why MS-SQL (T-SQL) forces users to "declare a temporary table (type specific)" and "execute select on the temporary table in order to assign values to output parameters" while using "the OUTPUT Clause". Comparing to the Oracle's sample I'm just using "the RETURNING INTO Clause in order to assign values to output parameters" and that's it; very easy and dynamic. To Summarize, Oracle's RETURNING INTO Clause is better than MS-SQL's OUTPUT Clause, but in fact they're doing the same job.

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 need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.

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
