hi All,
i am preparing few data files by extracting data from SQL server. This is a repeated task, so i though of using sqlcmd to automate the data extraction.
Using sqlcmd i am able to output the data to text file. However, in the output file i do not want few items
- the line series of dash characters in the header section
- the footer of the file which says -"10 row(s) affected".
Is there a option to instruct sqlcmd utility not to print these. I did check the available options but could not find instructions to eliminate these.
i am using the following
sqlcmd -S <<serverName>> -d <<Database>> -h -1 -W -s "," -i <<sqlfileName>> -o <<outputfile>>
When i specify -h -1, its not printing the column names and the dashed line where as i need the column names to be sent to output file. But, i could not find the option to eleminate the last line of the file which specifies the rows affected.
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!
