Hi.
I am not an expert, but I think that it depends on your environment. the ps sql solution is great.

maybe a batch file solution would fit also, where you spool your output of one query into a file and then run that file.

what are your constraints in a developement and runtime manner of speaking? Received on Mon Oct 03 2005 - 15:12:39 CDT
