Sql Task To Save Query Results To File ?
Sep 14, 2007In sql mgt studio, I can save the query results to a file. How would I do this in an SSIS package?
View 2 RepliesIn sql mgt studio, I can save the query results to a file. How would I do this in an SSIS package?
View 2 RepliesI 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.)
I found this topic from this link: Save MySQL query results into a text or CSV file | a Tech-Recipes Tutorial
I am try to create the text file from query results but it didn't work and got this error: "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INTO'.
SELECT sale, del
FROM order
INTO OUTFILE 'C:/tmp/orders.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '
'
Can someone demonstrate a SIMPLE way to do this that does not requireadditional functions or stored procedures to be created? Lets say Iwant to execute the following simple query - "select * from clients" -and save the results to a text file, we will assume c:
esults.txtHow can I do this in one step?
How do I save my query results into new table.... The ORIGINAL COLUMN Of course before parsing--- But the only data I want is in the three no name columns---(NO Column Name),(NO Column Name),(NO Column Name)I don’t want the original column saved back but I think it existing in the final query is blocking my Insert Into---

Can anyone show me how to run a prediction query and save the results to a sql table without using the T-SQL OPENQUERY tip here http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com/DMCommunity/TipsNTricks/3914.aspx? I am looking for an example in vb.net that I can use in a SSIS script task.
Thanks
I have cubes that hold quite a few calculations and so creating Excel pivot table views from it take a long time. This is even true for Excel 2007.
Now I wonder if it would be possible to write back all the calculation results to a relational table - maybe one that exactly matches the report format - so creating another report would be much faster?
SSRS seems to be a way to go but it does not speed up my Excel case.
I read about write-back in ROLAP and MOLAP but I don't think any of these concepts help me to really speed up my reports.
The closest thing I was able to find so far, which besides seems to do exactly what I want is Microsoft's new PerformancePoint 2007. It's just it seems overkill for my projects and the price is at $20K.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I believe saving prediction query results to relational tables is possible (the BI studio does it!). I am not clear on how to do this w/o the BI studio, which means if I write a DMX query and want to store its output to a relational table, how do I do it?
Tips, anyone?
Thanks!
I wonder if it is possible to run a stored procedure and save the results directly to a file in a predetermined directory
As an example I have created a (simple) stored procedure:
USE CovasCopy
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE spTryOut
(
@LastName as NVARCHAR(50)
, @FirstName AS NVARCHAR(25)
[Code] ....
What I would like to add is a (or more?) lines that save the results in a file (csv/txt/tab?)
The name I would like the file to have is "LastName, FirstName, Date query ran, time (HHMMSS?) query ran"
The directory: D:SQLServerResults
How do I pass the results of a sql 'FOR XML' query to an XML Task? I tried using a user variable of type string. In my Exec SQL Task on the General tab I set the ResultType to XML. Then on the Result Set tab I map it (Result 0) to my user variable (string). Then in the XML Task I use that variable as the Source. However, it fails in the Exec Sql Task with error
"End tag 'CustomJob秱孒秱怈пField' does not match the start tag 'CustomJobField'
It looks like some extraneous chars are getting inserted into my tags?
I also tried setting the ResultType to SingleRow but that failed with error:
"The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::ForXmlResult" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ".
Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm importing a large csv file two different ways - one with Bulk Import Task and the other way with the Data Flow Task (flat file source -> OLE DB destination).
With the Bulk Import Task I'm putting all the csv rows in one column. With the Data Flow Task I'm mapping each csv value to it's own column in the SQL table.
I used two different flat file sources and got the following:
Flat file 1: Bulk Import Task = 12,649,499 rows; Data Flow Task = 4,215,817 rows
Flat file 2: Bulk Import Task = 3,403,254 rows; Data Flow Task = 1,134,359 rows
Anyone have any guess as to why this is happening?
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
Is there a way in SQL Server 2000 to output your query results to a file (example comma-delimited) in the SQL CODE ITSELF? I know you can check the option under Tools->Options->Results but I want to have it do it in the SQL code. Thanks Eric
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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..
Hi,
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,

Hi,
In 6.5 you could run a query and then make a flat file with whatever format
you wanted.
I cannot find that option in 7.0. Can someone please tell me where it is????

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?
is there a way to print query results from mgt studio into a file with headings and formatting? When I "save as a" file, export file, spreadsheet, the results dont have headings and semi decent formatting.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello 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!

I have posted this on previous forums, but the below code is a VB.net CLR stored proc that will accepts two parameters, a SELECT.... FOR XML query and a file path, and saves the resulting xml result into a file specified by the parameter. After compiling the VB code into a .dll than the T-SQL code to import the assembly, create the CLR proc and test it is included underneath. Hope some will find this useful

Hi !
I am creating a website with a form that users can fill up the
information. This form is about the school's information of the users.
After fill up this form, the users will have to click the submit button
that will submit the form to be saved in a database.
I have created the database for that form. My question is how can I
save the result of this form to my database. Let's say I have 5
textboxes in that form, name, school's name, school's address, major,
and comments.
thanks a lot in advanced!
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
I have the following code below where I need to have all of the query results output into a .csv file to use in a VBA macro. The issue I am running into is that the data is not deliminating correctly and my rows are being shifted incorrectly. Any better way of out putting the results into a .csv file with a common delimiter.
-- Declare the variables
DECLARE @CMD VARCHAR(4000),
@DelCMD VARCHAR(4000),
@HEADERCMD VARCHAR(4000),
@Combine VARCHAR(4000),
@Path VARCHAR(4000),
@COLUMNS VARCHAR(4000)
[Code] ...
Output from query (please post in a text editor. The line starting with (only ) should be on line 1 after 20 pks and is shifted to a new line.):
557898^1^9885E25^80082^9.0 CM GLASS FIBER PADS 20PKS
(only 12 pks in stock that will ship today)

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.

I'd like the results of my query to stream right to a file rather than be processed row by row in an ADO reader loop. Is this possible?
