I would like to know how to create a text file and save it on my local machine, below is the stored procedure I am using. It creates the text file on server but I want it to be created on my local machine.
Any help is much appreciated..
alter Procedure [dbo].[USP_SaveFile]
    (@text as NVarchar(Max), @Filename Varchar(200)) AS
Begin
    declare
        @Object int,
        @rc int,
        @FileID Int
    EXEC @rc = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @Object OUT
    EXEC @rc = sp_OAMethod @Object , 'OpenTextFile' , @FileID OUT , @Filename , 2 , 1
    Set @text = Replace(Replace(Replace(@text,'&','&'),'<' ,'<'),'>','>')
    EXEC @rc = sp_OAMethod @FileID , 'WriteLine' , Null , @text
    Exec @rc = [databasename].dbo.sp_OADestroy @FileID
    Declare @Append bit
    Select @Append = 0
    If @rc <> 0
    Begin
        Exec @rc = [databasename].dbo.sp_OAMethod @Object, 'SaveFile',null,@text ,@Filename,@Append
    End
    Exec @rc = [databasename].dbo.sp_OADestroy @Object
End
--  Use [databasename]
--  EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
--  GO
--  EXEC sp_configure 'Ole Automation Procedures', 1;
--  GO
--  RECONFIGURE;
--  GO
--  EXEC USP_SaveFile 'Microsoft SQL Server 2008', 'D:\sqlfiles\test.txt'
                Create a share on your local machine and then use it like this:
EXEC USP_SaveFile 'Microsoft SQL Server 2008', '\\YourMachine\dir1\dir2\test.txt'
Please mind that SQL Server is a service so this: Network Service account accessing a folder share apply to it.
