SQL Server 2008 - Save each “while loop” result to a different file

Question

I'm using a double while loop to get a lot of results from several different tables. I get everything I need (500+ subjects, each with 1000+ rows), but each comes into a different grid. I would like to save each "while" result to a different .csv file. Is there any way

Answer 1

Might be possible to do using SQLCMD or BCP , but will be quite cumbersome to code, using quite a few variables and dynamic SQL.

If faced with this scenario, I would personally go with an SSIS package -

1. Use package variables to generate destination filenames dynamically
2. Use a for each loop container instead of the while loop
3. Put a dataflow task inside the container and use the Select code as source and the file from step one as the destination

It is pretty easy to do.
