how to text file append?

    Hello,

    I have several sql scripts to be executed on a set schedule, with the output directed to a text file. If the schedule triggers this process daily, is it possible to append each days output to the same output file? I've researched the osql switches and various online sources...nothing really covers this.

    This is done (relatively) easily with .vbs, but so far it looks tougher with TSQL.

    Many thanks to all who respond!

    Instead of using the [font="Arial Black"]-o filename [/font]option of OSQL, use [font="Arial Black"]>> filename [/font]instead

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
