Is there a way in SQL Server 2000 to output your query results to a file (example comma-delimited) in the SQL CODE ITSELF? I know you can check the option under Tools->Options->Results but I want to have it do it in the SQL code. Thanks Eric

Im running a query using isql from the command line and outputting the results
to a file. Ideally I'd like to have the file in csv format so that it can be used by a client to import the results into their system.
I can run a query and output the results to a file but get i dont get the csv format I require. I can separate the columns using /s parameter but I also additional space within the column fields.
I know it is possible to create the csv format using the SQL query tool and ISQL_w but I was wondering if there was some parameter that I can call that will format the output like the format options in ISQL_w allows me to do.
Thanks in advance
I have come across manual queries being run daily and the results saved to a txt file on the network.
I basically want to set run these up a stored procedure and set up as a scheduled task to run daily.
Does anyone know if you can automatically save the results of a query/stored procedure to a text file on a network??
Many Thanks..
Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0.
I have a query (select * from table1) and I'd like to have the results of this query sent to a text file instead of the results windows when I run it from Query Analyzer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
In 6.5 you could run a query and then make a flat file with whatever format
you wanted.
I cannot find that option in 7.0. Can someone please tell me where it is????
Thanks,

I want to write a small program (maybe just a stored procedure) that will save the results and column names of a simple query to CSV file. This will then be copied onto disk and distributed to user who'll use Excel or a similar package to open the CSV file.
Any suggestions as to the best way to achieve this? I was considering using a view and then BCP but I have problems then when trying to open the CSV file in excel (or other spreadsheet package). Doesn't like the datatypes and so on.
Is there a simple way to do this? And is it possible to save the results in such a way that Excel will choose the right datatypes for the columns. (not convert varchar's like '000122' to numbers.)

After running a query (from the Query Builder) in SQL Server 2008 sometimes I can right-click on the results pane and "Save results as CSV file", other times it's not an option. After running a query for 24 hours (several million record results) I can't seem to do anything with the results. I have my settings:
Options | Query results | SQL Server | Default Destination for Results
set to "Results to File" and a path entered, but it doesn't work. Is there wording I can add to the end of my SQL statement such as "TO FILE xxx.csv" or something?
is there a way to print query results from mgt studio into a file with headings and formatting? When I "save as a" file, export file, spreadsheet, the results dont have headings and semi decent formatting.

I have written a query that I need to save results of. Is there some statement that I can place at the top of my query (like we can do in Oracle through spool command) to specify the directoryfilename to save query results to? Eventually I need to schedule this to run daily via a DTS package.

After compiling the VB code into a .dll than the T-SQL code to import the assembly, create the CLR proc and test it is included underneath. Hope some will find this useful

Hello,
We have some queries that are long and intensive. We have thought about running the queries and storing the data in a text file for lookup from our website.
Example: Our online store only displays items that are in stock so when a user selects a category a query runs and grabs only items that are in stock and then displays them. There could be thousands of items the query needs to sort through before displaying the items that are in stock. What if we ran this query once every hours an stored the results in a txt file? The asp page would then go to the text file to grab the results instead of having to run the query every time a user selects a category. Will this speed up the site by not having to query every time? Would this be a correct way to eliminate queries that run thousands of times a day?
thanks
Andy
I have the following code below where I need to have all of the query results output into a .csv file to use in a VBA macro. The issue I am running into is that the data is not deliminating correctly and my rows are being shifted incorrectly. Any better way of out putting the results into a .csv file with a common delimiter.
-- Declare the variables
DECLARE @CMD VARCHAR(4000),
@DelCMD VARCHAR(4000),
@HEADERCMD VARCHAR(4000),
@Combine VARCHAR(4000),

Output from query (please post in a text editor. The line starting with (only ) should be on line 1 after 20 pks and is shifted to a new line.):

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

When I send my query results to a file in SQL Server Management Studio, how come I'm seeing the following in Notepad++? FH TEST "FH" which I thought should be in a CHAR(2) data column is there but "TEST" seems to start in Column 6...not column 3 as I would have expected. I was expecting... FHTEST.
ok can someone tell me why i get two different answers for the same query. (looking for last day of month for a given date)
SELECT DATEADD(ms, - 3, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, CAST('12/20/2006' AS datetime)) + 1, 0)) AS Expr1
FROM testsupplierSCNCR
I am getting the result of 01/01/2007
but in query analizer I get the result of
12/31/2006
Why the different dates
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!!
-- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on
go
if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1
if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?

Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.

I have a query that performs a comparison between 2 different databases and returns the results of the comparison. It returns 2 columns. The 1st column is the value of the object being compared, and the 2nd column is a number representing any discrepancies.What I would like to do is use the results from this 1st query in the where clause of another separate query so that this 2nd query will only run for any primary values from the 1st query where a secondary value in the 1st query is not equal to zero.I was thinking of using an "IN" function in the 2nd query to pull data from the 1st column in the 1st query where the 2nd column in the 1st query != 0, but I'm having trouble ironing out the correct syntax, and conceptualizing this optimally.
While I would prefer to only return values from the 1st query where the comparison value != 0 in order to have a concise list to work with, I am having difficulty in that the comparison value is a mathematical calculation of 2 different tables in 2 different databases, and so far I've been forced to include it in the select criteria because the where clause does not accept it.Also, I am not a DBA by trade. I am a system administrator writing SQL code for reporting data from an application I support.
