RE: How to export query data from MS SQL Server to text file

New DTS package - create the connection (server / database). Create a new object for data destination using the text file option. On the advanced tab, check "fixed" so it is fixed width, then set up a data pump task either using a SQL statement or if it is the entire table, do it that way.

Rgds,

M.

RE: How to export query data from MS SQL Server to text file

(OP)
I will only have access (possibly only read-only access and ability to export) to the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio or the SQLCMD utility to export the data to a "fixed width" text file.

Is there a script or Transact-SQL code that I can run in the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio or the SQLCMD utility to export the data to a "fixed width" text file?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

RE: How to export query data from MS SQL Server to text file

1. Please don't double post across groups
2. If it's 2005 then it would be SSIS and not DTS

In either case, see previous response - there is an export option of fixed width - or are you asking for something completely different?

RE: How to export query data from MS SQL Server to text file

(OP)
Thanks mutley1.  Apologize for the double post.

I will post any other questions in the SQL Server Programming forum instead of the Data Transformation forum.

Thanks again, for all your help.
