Spooling out Txt files from Query Analyzer

  • Hello Everyone

     

    I have a stored procedure that spools out a text file based on a sql table name, so for example if the tablename is called test, I can then spool out a table called test.txt with a custom delimeter.

     

    The SP makes use of the sa password, but now that we have now moved onto windows authentication, is there anything that I can do ? Or perhaps has anyone got any code to do the same ?

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

  • I trust the password is not embedded in the proc?

    Your question indicates a lack of some understanding of sql server but I assume the proc calls isql, osql, dtsrun or some such  - you need to change the account details ( connection string ??? ) to use integrated security ( trusted ) and make sure the caller ( of the proc ) has sufficient permissions.

    Bit tricky without a better idea of the code involved.
