creating sp to export column to comma delimited list

Hello everyone, I am interested in creating a stored procedure that can
extract a column from a table and put it into a comma delimited list. Can
someone give me some examples of how this can be done. Thanks in advance for
any help.

And mind the warnings, please.
Maybe you could also tell us what it is that you're actually trying to
achieve?

client and massage the data to appropriate display format. As far as
workarounds for doing it at the server, you can check out the following

Below you can test without passing parameters if you uncomment the
default values...
otherwise pass in the parameters...

EXEC sp_exportcolumn
OR
EXEC sp_exportcolumn @.p_servername ,@.p_databasename , @.p_tablename ,
@.p_columnname , @.p_outputfile|||I apologize for the broadness of my request. What I am trying to do is
extract email addresses from a column and then paste them into a web page
that will send out the emails with an attachment. The webpage calls for the
email addresses to be separated by a comma.

purpose you may want
To change the @.v_cmd to give "," as the row terminator, since that is
the format you want in at end...
Also, consider limiting the data by adding a where clause and data
validation if data is not already clean.
SET @.v_cmd = 'bcp "'+@.v_sql+'" queryout "'+ @.p_outputfile+'" -S "'+
@.p_servername +'" -c -b 100000 -m 20000 -T -r ","'|||Thanks for the advice. I give this a try.
