Select Records and Insert into Text File?

junkmail115

Greetings,

A novice needs some advice:

I am able to bulk insert data from a text file into a table. Is it
possible to run a query and insert the results into a text file on the
local or network hard drive?

Thanks For Reading,

There is no BULK EXPORT that is the inversion of BULK INSERT. You can
spawn the BCP command from xp_cmdshell, but xp_cmdshell is disabled on
SQL 2005 by default, and your DBA may not want to enable it.

Keep in mind that SQL Server is a server application, and it mainly
works with data in the database, and talk with clients over the network.
Things like reading files is mainly a duty for client programs to do.
