Output To File (not Using Xp_cmdshell)
Aug 13, 2007
Hi everyone -
I have a client who need to output some text from a stored procedure to a text file. The main problem is that it is a SOX system, so we can't use xp_cmdshell, and we can't create new tables. This rules out the following methods:
DTSrun
osql
bcp
I then thought well maybe we can convert the SP to a DTS package. Well that can't work because he stores the text to be output in a #temptable, and I couldn't get DTS to do data transformation on a temptable.
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Reghardt

Hi,
Without using bcp or dts we want load
some data from file to table
----
create table #file
(a varchar(8000))
DECLARE @PATH_FILE VARCHAR (250)
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR (400)
SET @PATH_FILE = '\Mypc mp$price.txt'
SET @sql = 'findstr /b /c:"Z" ' + RTRIM (@PATH_FILE)
insert into #file
exec xp_cmdshell @sql
select a from #file
--
Works fine if lenth of column in file <= 255 ,if lenth is >255
all data after postion 255 inserted into new row
Any way to insert all characters from one line into single row ?
Thank you
Alex

I am having problem creating/copying "txt" file in a remote machine by using the "exec master..xp_cmdshell" command in query analyzer. For example, we are getting errors for the following command:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'copy d: estingauthors.txt \<MyServerName><myFolderName>authors.txt'
(but exec master..xp_cmdshell 'copy d: estingauthors.txt d: esting1authors1.txt' is working without any problems)
Any ideas?

BCP thru xp_cmdshell from stored procedure:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1;
RECONFIGURE
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'bcp database.dbo.table in c:scheduled.csv -S SERVERSQLEXPRESS -T -t, -r -c -e "error.txt"';
This is returning the following error code. I even tried placing the command in a seperate command file and calling that with no success. If I run this from the command line the error file generation does work.
=================================================================
SQLState = HY000, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Unable to open BCP error-file
=================================================================
Error message when using BULK INSERT as follows:
BULK INSERT database.dbo.table from 'c:unscheduled.csv' with
(FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ERRORFILE = 'c:error.txt');
Returns the following error message:
=================================================================
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Procedure pro_cedure, Line 9
Cannot bulk load because the file "c:error.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 80(The file exists.).
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Procedure pro_cedure, Line 9
Cannot bulk load because the file "c:error.txt.Error.Txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 80(The file exists.).
=================================================================
The Bulk Insert actually creates a empty error.txt file (0kb) and never preforms the insert, I can not find any examples of anyone using the -ERRORFILE switch on BULK INSERT. Prolly some default security setting to allow file creation/modification I am missing. Anyone help me out? Thanks.

I need the file created by my BCP QUERYOUT command I'm executing from XP_CmdShell in Transact-SQL to have a specific OWNER. I've tried using the sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account to setup the correct owner. The owner is always SERVERNAMEAdministrators.
thanks,

Hey,
I'm looking for a good way to rewrite my T-SQL code with 'bcp' to SSIS package, any help would be greatly appreciated?
I have table1 contain account numbers and output-filename for each account,
I need to join table2 and table3 to get data for each account in table1, and then export as a txt file.
Here is my code using bcp (bulk copy)
DECLARE @RowCnt int,
@TotalRows int,
@AccountNumber char(11),
@sql varchar(8000),
@date char(10),
@ArchPath varchar(500)
SET @RowCnt = 1
SET @date = CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),110)
SET @ArchPath = '\D$EDATAWorkFoldersSendSendData'
SELECT @TotalRows = count(*) FROM table1
--select @ArchPath
WHILE (@RowCnt <= @TotalRows)
BEGIN
SELECT @AccountNumber = AccountNumber, @output_filename FROM table1 WHERE Identity_Number = @RowCnt
--PRINT @AccountNumber --test
SELECT @sql = N'bcp "SELECT h.HeaderText, d.RECORD FROM table2 d INNER JOIN table3 h ON d.HeaderID = h.HeaderID WHERE d.ccountNumber = '''
+ @AccountNumber+'''" queryout "'+@ArchPath+ @output_filename + '.txt" -T -c'
--PRINT @sql
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql
SELECT @RowCnt = @RowCnt + 1
END

Hi
This should be incredibly simple and easy, but I can't find any examples of how to do this.
I just want to make a File System Task move a file, and have the destination be filename + date and time. For example \serversharefilename02072007.txt
What syntax do I use in a variable to make this work?
Thanks

In my SSIS Package, I have to write my [FileHeaderRecord] row, then my [BatchHeaderRecord] row, then my details. How can I do this in a SQL Server Query? When I try my SSIS, my file looks like so..
FHTEST 00000208262015 BH000208262015
I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.

Hi all!
My question is quite simple I think... I am directing the result of my query to an output file my problem is how to set the rowsize of my output file to more than 256 (that is the default maximum)? My query result is quite long per row (assuming one column) in query anlyzer, I can easily adjust the result to more than 256 but the result in the output file is truncated because the ouput is more than 256 characters per row...how can I set (in the code) the length of the row of the result in the output file... thanks for the help... this is quite urgent...

I'm using SQL Server 2005 / 9.0.3042
I'm not new to sql server, but making my first experience with xml in sql server 2005.
I have a query like this (based on <Table> with neccessary data):
SELECT TAG, PARENT, <columns...>
FROM <Table>
FOR XML EXPLICIT
This query creates a xml file exactly as i need it when i execute it in Management Studio. Well, with one exception. It does not write the <xml...> tag at the beginning of the xml file. But i'm sure i get that in there somewho else. What i need to do now is get that output to a file on disk. And that's where my problem starts.
I tried SQLCMD within Management Studio, but that doesn't accept the ':XML ON' tag and ignores it. the resulting file written is not usable, as it also contains query summary information.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, All
I have a header row and a footer row and a bunch of detail data I have managed to split up into temp db tables, know i need to know what would I need to do to write the header , detail data and footer to the same file after all my validations have completed , this would be a different file then the one I originally imported all the data from (append to text delimited file).
Idealy I would only like to change the header and footer from the original file.
Any ideas - I am thinking of writing a application that does this for me and just executing it from
SSIS but I would really like to stick with standard SSIS components first before starting to write my own stuff.
Thanx in advance

I'm converting a terribly written ColdFusion script and migrating it to T-SQL (SQL Server 2012). My problem is, I'm having issues with how to get these loops sorted out. For instaces, the CF query wouold be something like :
<cfquery name = "getData" datasource = "db">
SELECT id, name, date FROM table
</cfquery>
Following that, this query is looped into another set of queries:
<cfloop query = "getData">
<cfquery name = "getAddress" datasource = "globaladdress">
select * from globalAddress
where addressID = '#addressID#'
</cfquery>
[code]...
What I'm looking to do is turn the first query "getData" into the above loop, but rather in T-SQL.
