SQL Server has no native command for outputting query
results to a file. You can use the extended
stored procedure xp_cmdshell and call isql (command-line
SQL) with your query and output the results to a file. Any
delimiters would need to be part of the SELECT string:

DECLARE @isqlString varchar(255)

SELECT @isqlString = 'isql -Q "SELECT DateCol FROM
NorthwindTest.dbo.Test" -E -o C:\Results.txt'

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @isqlString
