I have inherited a website and porting to .net. this site queries some large census tables and then if requested by the user exports the data to excel. this was done originally with a lot of asp writes to excel looping through the dataset created by the query. I would like to just export straight from sql 2k5 when I pass the query.
I know some geniuses up here can tell me how to do that.
Thanks k- Does anyone know this, I am working in a fed environment wbere I will be selecting from thier (actually my) sql db and writing to the server where my GIS data sits.
any security issues. It's all in their server farm behind the fw...seems more secure than dragging to my website and then writting back into their (my) server.
