The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Save sql query as .sql file

Asked by thoecherl in SQL Query Syntax, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2005

I have this query:

declare @s1 varchar(1000), @s2 varchar(1000), @s3 varchar(1000), @s4 varchar(1000), @s5 varchar(1000), @s6 varchar(1000), @s7 varchar(1000),
@s8 varchar(1000), @s9 varchar(1000), @s10 varchar(1000),  @s11 varchar(1000), @s12 varchar(1000), @s13 varchar(1000), @var int, @avar varchar(15)
select @var = 1632
select @avar = cast(@var as varchar(15))
select @s1 =  'set nocount on'
select @s2 =  'select ''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'''
select @s3 =  'select ''<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="urn:UsedProductService" xmlns:SOAP-ENC=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">'''
select @s4 =  'select ''<SOAP-ENV:Body>'''
select @s5 =  'select ''<ns1:catchUsedProducts>'''
select @s6 =  'select ''<usedProductItems SOAP-ENC:arrayType="ns1:UsedProductItem['
select @s7 =  ']"'''
select @s8 =  'select ''xsi:type="ns1:ArrayOfUsedProductItem">'''
select @s9 =  'select stockNumber, [description], manufacturer, usedCategoryName, price from PCT_RJ_WEB_ITEMS [item] ORDER BY stockNumber FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS;'
select @s10 = 'select ''</usedProductItems>'''
select @s11 = 'select ''</ns1:catchUsedProducts>'''

print @s8

print @s4
print @s5
print @s6 + @avar + @s7
print @s8
print @s9
print @s10
print @s11
print @s12
print @s13

Everything is static except for the value in the @var variable, which changes.  Right now I set Management Studio to save to file and when the window pops up I select All Files as Type and then I save it as GenerateXML.sql.

Then, when I run this query, which references the GenerateXML.sql file, I get the results I want, including the value in the @var variable:

use master
declare @sqlstring varchar(8000)
select @sqlstring = 'sqlcmd -S RJRGNSN -s "      " -d MCHN -i c:\GenerateXML.sql  -U sa -P 123! -h-1 -w 2000 -o C:\XML_OUTPUT_TEST.txt'
execute master..xp_cmdshell @sqlstring

This all works perfectly.  But I need to set this up to run as an SQL Agent job.  I can create the first query as a stored procedure and pass in the @var variable as a parameter, but I don't know how to automate the process of saving the query as a .sql file.  Can anyone help?
