| Use bcp.Create an sp to format the resultset - test that until you are happy.Then you have a choice. You can change that SP so that instead of producing a resultset it uses bcp to output the text file. Or (and I prefer) you can create another sp which just does the bcp using queryout with the formatting sp as input to create the file - in that way if you decide to change the way the file is created or change the destination you only change the shell sp.note: If you use a temp table in the frmt sp you will probably need to include set fmtonly off in the calling command to get it to work.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
