Is it possible to create/write to a file from a trigger that is not interacting with any other programs?I know you can send email this way, but I wasn't sure if you can create files.Any help would be greatly appreciated!" |

| Sure - can call bcp, osql, redirection to create the file from a trigger.Note that all the while this is happenning the trigger will be holding the transaction open so maybe it's not a good idea.see www.nigelrivett.comCreating a text file from a stored procedureFor some examples of how to create files.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
