Is it possible to create an RSS file from directly MS SQL 2005? I'd like to create a task to produce a file daily and place it on a web server.

no not really...
you can have stored procedure returning xml when called like a web service but that's about it.

you have it backwards ... the web server, when the RSS feed is requested, should query the database, generate an XML file based on the data, and then return the resulting RSS file to the client. That is how it typically works. Generating RSS feeds is the task of a web application, not database code.

Jeff,
Thanks for the comment, you are very right. I'm just struggling with ASP.NET right now and was hoping to find an easier way to do it. I am a CF programmer by trade.

ASP.NET is by far the easiest way .... if you are struggling with it, this is a great chance to learn some ASP.NET since you have a nice, simple project to work on!

A quick google gives quite a few examples and tutorials:
