Is it possible to create a stored procedure that runs a
query and outputs the results to a text file and allows me
to add extra delimeters and static field info. If so How?
Answer Posted / guest
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
