So, looks like if I pass table name which contains underscore via @local_variable or SP parameter - result will be wrong. If table name won't contains underscore - everything works fine and result of script:
declare @tname as char(50) set @tname = 'MyTable' exec sp_columns @tname

I want to establish logging using NT Security. The problem is that user names in NT have underscore(_). When I establish NT Scurity in SQL security manager, SQL Server tries to add blank names as login id and they will not go through. Is it manadatory to remove underscore from username?
Because of structrual hierarchy, I have different groups in NT to be mapped to SQL Server groups and each group has different permission on SQL tables. In some cases we might have same users in more than one group. I read that it is not possible if you use NT integrated security. Is there any thing that can be worked around this and is this problem still exists in SQL 7.

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 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?
After running a query (from the Query Builder) in SQL Server 2008 sometimes I can right-click on the results pane and "Save results as CSV file", other times it's not an option. After running a query for 24 hours (several million record results) I can't seem to do anything with the results. I have my settings:
Options | Query results | SQL Server | Default Destination for Results
set to "Results to File" and a path entered, but it doesn't work. Is there wording I can add to the end of my SQL statement such as "TO FILE xxx.csv" or something?
I have 4 different queries in one SSMS New query window that are returning expected results in 4 resultsets. However I want to output these results to a single .js file one after the other in the order of queries. Is that possible?
I am working on SQL Server 2008 and there is a problem in my SQL Server log file. I am seeing this from last 8 days, my log file size increasing continuously while i have set it on Simple Recovery model. Is there any method from which I can reduce the size of my log file and also I want to know, how the Recovery models affect to the size of a log file?
I am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.
If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?
As the title indicates am i searching for a method to export values of a column to a file (plain text). I have been searching on the internet about it but can't seem to find any information. I am working with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
The values has to come out as they are in the table meaning
aaaa ------ bbbb ------ ccc -----
to aaaa bbb ccc
I am hoping there is a method to do this by creating a script, telling what table to copy and to save it on file yyy/xxx/zzz.txt
I used the MERGE function for the first time. Now I have to create a pipe-delimited delta file for a 3rd party client of any deltas that may exist in our database.
What is the best way to do this? I have OUTPUT to a result set of the deltas...but I have to send over the entire table to the 3rd party via a pipe-delimited file.
I had a small requirement i had a table with embedded attachments and attachments are uploaded to the table and saved in varbinary field from front end.

I have tried googling but none of seems to be within SQl Server T-SQL. all are linked to Asp.NET how i can do?
I have a CSV file that I am trying to bulk load into a temp table. The data in the file is all jumbled together, as in, there does not appear to be a row terminator. However, I do see a bunch of little rectangular boxes that I assume are the row terminators.
When I run the bulk insert, the data is treated as one string. For example... If I have 10 columns in the table, the 10 columns will be populated, but the remainder of the data is dumped into the last column.
Here are the row terminators I have used so far that haven't worked.
Copy out all data from a DB table into/across delimited text file(s) ensuring that each text file size is no more than 3MB.Have created a SSIS solution where it achieves this requirement ..well sort of achieves the requirement ... Here it what the current solution (sparing the minute details) does in a nutshell & Problems with it:
1) Created a function (Script below) which finds the maximum row size in bytes in a given DB table & uses it to calculate how many rows can be copied out into a text file without exceeding 3MB size limit.
For instance: A DB table selected had 788 rows in total and this function for this particular table returned a value of 181 rows { select [dbo].[udf_GetRowPartitionNumber](‘<TableName>’)as #ofRowstoPartitionTableby --181} meaning in order to not exceed the requirement of 3MB per text file, we had to copy all the data from DB table across (create) 5 text files {Select CEILING(788
I need to have a script that will restore the backup file in a folder but the backup file will have the date appended to it and I won't know what that date is.
