I need to export a file to synchronize data with an external SQL server.
But the data in the table is rarely changed.
Is there a way to export a file only when update within the table is detected?

Thanks.

you mean export a table to a file ? You can use DTS or BCP to export a table to a file.

You can execute the DTS or BCP in your table's update trigger. Or alternatively keep a last update date & time or flag (update the flag using update trigger) and schedule a job via Enterprise Manager to check for the flag and call DTS / BCP to export to file.
