| I am new to SQL Server, but an old pro and SQL. I am having a bit of a problem trying to select from a table into a file. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Previously I would have used a statement likeunload to 'c:\test.txt'select * from testtablebut apparently this is not how you do things anymore.Thanks!I never go to sleep or I forget everything! |
