I have a query that is more complicated, but basically creates an HTML page for me. 

DECLARE @indSubject varchar(7)
SET @indSubject = '61-0036'

--  LOTS of query stuff here that makes a page.  For simplicity 
--  just use this:

SELECT '<html><body>' + @indSubject + '</body></html>'

I want to do two things:

  1. Have SQL Server save this on my machine somewhere with the name of
    @indSubject.html (e.g. C:\TEMP\HTMLOUTPUT\61-0036.html)
  2. Be able to pass different values to the @indSubject (e.g. 91-0003).
    Something command line-ish ?

Can I do this with BCP? Some other way ?

Please note, this is all my personal stuff and this is not being deployed on a web server so I don’t have to really worry to much about security, SQL Injection etc (at least I hope I don’t!)

    You can use SQLCMD to accomplish this fairly easily.

    If you save your existing query as a .sql file, you can execute this using SQLCMD.

    Additionally, SQLCMD will let you specify a variable inside of your .sql file ${indSubject} which you could then provide from the command line.

    Finally, using the -o switch, you can output the results directly to a file, and you can suppress the headers on your result set using the following environment setting:

    :SETVAR SQLCMDHEADERS -1
