hi, i had been removed the row counts and the column spaces... but i
failed to remove the extra tabs between rows of data return from the
osql output.
how to detect the row delimiter?
i noticed i can use bcp to have a more decent output file, but i don't
want to do too much of file read-write. the programming enviroment is
quite easy to "capture" the output from the comand prompt.
secondary, char(252), 253, 254, 255 is not being read by the command
prompt, for example, 253 turns into 132 when i decode the input.
thankx.

I'm afraid that I don't understand the question really. You can use
the -s option to OSQL to change the column delimiter, but you will
still get lots of extra spaces. I don't know really what you want to
do, but it sounds like you should fo with BCP.

OSQL is a command-line, and a the command-line world in Windows uses
a different character set than Windows applications. (DOS legacy.)
But OSQL is able to read and write Unicode files, and with Unicode
files you don't have this issue.

Everybody,
I've been doing a lot of on-line research and cannot find
any reference to the exact problem I'm having.
Let me preface this question with the fact that I'm coming
from an Oracle background so my approach may not be the best
way to tackle this. However, from the research I have done
this approach seems reasonable. Also, I know about the
undocumented procedure sp_MSforeachtable. That can give me a

I am trying to use a command line program to run a stored procedure
that generates output in a comma-delimitted format. Somehow, ISQL or
OSQL always wrap the lines at 256 characters. I believe this has
something to do with the column width switch (-w). But enlarging the
column width to 800 characters max still doesn't help. The following
is a stored procedure that is essentially doing what my stored

I have some long running scripts which I fire at my database using osql.
(These are big files and mostly doing inserts but some also do a few other
things.) It would be nice to have some activity indication (other than the
disk activity light) that these are running. When I used to use Oracle,
their equivalent to osql had an option to print a dot (without a carriage
return) for every "n" statements. This gave a nice "I'm alive" indicator. I...

Hi everyone,
I'm using osql to generate a pipe-delimited output file, that is potentially up to 500 characters wide. No matter what I set the -w parameter to in my batch file, the output file still wraps at position 192. Is there an additional parameter that I can use to allow up to 500 characters, or is this a limitation of osql??
Any advice would be greatily appreciated!
Thanks, Dave Lewis

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
