I have a large t-sql statement (select... for xml explicit) that creates a nice sized (17 mb) xml file that I need to ftp to a vendor on a daily basis. I can run the the select statement in management studio where I can open up, view, and save the results as an xml or text file and then manually ftp the file to the vendor.

What I am struggling with is automating this process via SSIS. Right now I have the t-sql running in an ole db source component. It generates the output as a DT_IMAGE data type. Now I'm stuck. I have scoured the net and have not been able to successfully apply any of the suggested solutions (bcp with a select statement from the command line, using a datareader destination, etc).

Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Dave

Thanks for the reply. Writing the xml query results out to a variable and then writing the variable out to a file via a script seems to be the consensus. I actually used this one and it worked well:

Thanks again...
