AshishYou can save the output of a query in QA using the
Query--> Results to file option.
You can get the output of a query in XML using the FOR XML clause

You can create XML with the FOR XML option in SELECT statements. If you want
to save the data to a file, look at DTS as SQL Server does not do user file
handling itself.
