SQL Server：将查询导出为.txt文件

Question

I am trying to export my SQL Server query results into a folder in .txt format (this is for an automated job)

I know the equivalent in MySQL works with INTO OUTFILE . Does anyone know the best way to do this in SQL Server 2008 Management Studio?

SELECT DISTINCT RTRIM (s1.SGMNTID) AS 'AccCode',RTRIM (s1.DSCRIPTN) AS 'CodeDesc', CASE
    WHEN  s1.SGMTNUMB = '1' THEN '1' 
    WHEN s1.SGMTNUMB = '2' THEN '2'
    WHEN s1.SGMTNUMB = '3' THEN '110'
    WHEN s1.SGMTNUMB = '4' THEN '4'
    WHEN s1.SGMTNUMB = '5' THEN '120'
    END AS 'AccountType_id',
CASE WHEN s1.SGMTNUMB = '2' 
THEN LEFT(s1.SGMNTID, 2)
ELSE 'DEFAULT'
END AS 'AccGroupName'

 FROM GL40200 s1

UNION 

SELECT  REPLACE ([ACTNUMBR_1]+'-'+ [ACTNUMBR_2]+'-'+ [ACTNUMBR_3]+'-'+[ACTNUMBR_4]+'-'+    [ACTNUMBR_5],' ', '') AS 'AccCode',
 '' AS 'CodeDesc',
 '0' AS 'AccountType_id',
 'Default' AS 'AccGroupName'
FROM GL00100 a

INTO OUTFILE 'C:\Users\srahmani\verian/myfilename.txt'

Answer 1

you do this in the SSMS app, not the SQL. In the toolbar select

Query --> Results To --> Results To File

Answer 2

Another way is from command line, using the osql:

OSQL -S SERVERNAME -E -i thequeryfile.sql -o youroutputfile.txt

This can be used from a BAT file and shceduled by a windows user to authenticated.

Answer 3

You can use bcp utility .

To copy the result set from a Transact-SQL statement to a data file, use the queryout option. The following example copies the result of a query into the Contacts.txt data file. The example assumes that you are using Windows Authentication and have a trusted connection to the server instance on which you are running the bcp command. At the Windows command prompt, enter:

bcp "<your query here>" queryout Contacts.txt -c -T

You can use BCP by directly calling as operating sytstem command in SQL Agent job.

Answer 4

You can use windows Powershell to execute a query and output it to a text file

Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "Select * from database" -ServerInstance "Servername\\SQL2008" -Database "DbName" > c:\\Users\\outputFileName.txt

Answer 5

The BCP Utility can also be used in the form of a .bat file, but be cautious of escape sequences (ie quotes "" must be used in conjunction with ) and the appropriate tags.

.bat Example:

C:
bcp "\"YOUR_SERVER\".dbo.Proc" queryout C:\FilePath.txt -T -c -q
-- Add PAUSE here if you'd like to see the completed batch

-q MUST be used in the presence of quotations within the query itself.

BCP can also run Stored Procedures if necessary. Again, be cautious: Temporary Tables must be created prior to execution or else you should consider using Table Variables.

Answer 6

This is quite simple to do and the answer is available in other queries. For those of you who are viewing this:

select entries from my_entries where id='42' INTO OUTFILE 'bishwas.txt';
