What I want to do is output some query results to a file. Basically, when I query the table I’m interested in, my results look like this:

HTML_ID    HTML_CONTENT
1          <html>...
2          <html>...
3          <html>...
4          <html>...
5          <html>...
6          <html>...
7          <html>...

The field HTML_CONTENT is of type ntext and each record’s value is around 500+ characters (that contains HTML content).

I can create a cursor to move each record’s content to a temp table or whatever.
But my question is this: instead of temp table, how would I move this without using BCP?

BCP isn’t an option as our sysadmin has blocked access to sys.xp_cmdshell.

Note: I want to store each record's HTML content to individual files

My version of sql is: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0

    You can make use of SSIS to read the table data and output the content of the table rows as files. Export column transformation available within Data Flow Task of SSIS packages might help you do that.

    Here is an example, The Export Column Transformation

    MSDN documentation about Export Column transformation.
