All ,

Is it possible that i can get the result of executed select statement in a .txt file.

some thing like this

select * from mytablw to <some file name.txt>

You need to use BCP.

You either invoke it from a cmd window or use xp_cmdshell in SS.

Code Snippet

From cmd:

bcp "SELECT * FROM MyTable" queryout "c:\My Output File.txt" -c -Smyserver -Umylogin -Pmypswd

From SQL Server:

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT * FROM MyTable" queryout "c:\My Output File.txt" -c -Smyserver -Umylogin -Pmypswd'

Look up BCP in BOL for more options and parameters.
