Tim writes "How to use SQL 7.0 bcp's QUERYOUT feature to select data to a file, without using a Stored Procedure. The 'Select' syntax would be in a file, not in the BCP command line. Any ideas?"

Never used that syntax, but BOL states that the bcp must be based on a query. And a query can be turned in to a View, so why not create a view and bcp out the view?

I have never used the QUERYOUT option either. I would suggest doing it how Brett mentioned though that way you don't have to type out the query each time (since you'll probably run it more than once), you'll just select on the view which has all the details.
