Raimund writes "I am a newcomer to SQL. We are using SQL 7.0 for storing and analyzing internet access cata. We have a couple of stored procedures on the server, which are activated via a MS Access Client. The rusults (selcts on the tables) are displayed on the client PC. Because of some jobs are running a long time, I would like to run them at night on the SQL-Server (via SQL-Agents scheduler) and the results should be stored in text files.
In SQL-Server Agent you can EXECUTE a sp, but channeling the result to a file (>outputfile, like in UNIX) does not work to the EXECUTE-Statement (syntax error). How can I export the results of queries to a file or import parameters for sp's from a file? Must I use tmp-tables for storing the rusults of a query? Why does a simple "redirect" like in UNIX not work?
Thanks for hints."

Would recommend you use Bulkcopy with Query option wherein result of a query can be taken to the text file.
