Hi,

I have a very simply query which reads:-

select [Table_Name]
,[Company_No]
,[Client_No]
,[Client_Date]
,[Client_Time]
,[Client_Dupl]
,[Insurer_No]
,[RiskReference]
,[RiskHandler]
,[CLAIM_REF]
,[Record_Count]
,[Date_Detected] from dbo.Test_Checker where cast(Date_Detected as date) = CAST(getdate() as Date)

I need to the output of this as a flat file.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Raj.

Have a look at bcp or ssis.
Might be easier to copy to a table first

select [Table_Name]
,[Company_No]
,[Client_No]
,[Client_Date]
,[Client_Time]
,[Client_Dupl]
,[Insurer_No]
,[RiskReference]
,[RiskHandler]
,[CLAIM_REF]
,[Record_Count]
,[Date_Detected]
into mytable
from dbo.Test_Checker where cast(Date_Detected as date) = CAST(getdate() as Date)

You also might want to format into character strings.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
