Long running SQL query in ASP.Net

Greetings,
I have to run a parametirzed sproc on SQL that can take 5-10 minutes to
complete. The query returns a few megs of data that I want to let the
clients download as a CSV. Any ideas on a quick and dirty way to do this
without invoiking SSIS?

You can use bcp but this requires xp_cmdshell nned to be enabled ,if
you call from SQL Server|||Hi Shkedy,
I recommend that you try using bcp command and Import/Export Data Wizard.
Either of the two methods is very convenient, but Import/Export Data Wizard
may be more convenient for you.
For bcp utility, you can refer to:
bcp Utility
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802(SQL.90).aspx
For Import/Export Data Wizard, please refer to:
How to: Start the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms140052(SQL.90).aspx
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.
Best regards,
Charles Wang

I ended up using C# to implement this by launching a new thread that
traverses a reader and writes a text file. I added some more bells and
whistles that I omitted from here but this is the gist of the code:
private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsValid)
{
File.Delete(Server.MapPath("~") + "\\reports\\" + CreateFileName());
System.Threading.ThreadStart launcher = new System.Threading.ThreadStart(
CreateCSVReport);
System.Threading.Thread thread = new System.Threading.Thread(launcher);
thread.Start();
Page.RegisterStartupScript("popup", String.Format("<script
language='javascript'>popitup('ReportStatus.aspx?f={0}')</script>'",CreateFileName()));
}
}
private void CreateCSVReport()
{
SqlDataReader rdr;
SqlConnection cnn = new
SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("ConnectionString"));
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("sp_mysproc");
cmd.Connection = cnn;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@.param1", SomeValue);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@.param2", SomeValue);
cmd.Connection.Open();
cmd.CommandTimeout = 900;
string tempFileName = Server.MapPath("~") + "\\reports\\temp\\" +
Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".csv";
System.IO.StreamWriter wrtr = (File.CreateText(tempFileName));
rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
int rowCount = 0;
for (int i =0; i < rdr.FieldCount; i++)
{
wrtr.Write("{0}",rdr.GetName(i));
if (i < rdr.FieldCount -1 )
wrtr.Write(",");
}
wrtr.WriteLine();
while (rdr.Read())
{
for (int i =0; i < rdr.FieldCount; i++)
{
wrtr.Write("{0}",rdr[i]);
if (i < rdr.FieldCount -1 )
wrtr.Write(",");
}
rowCount++;
wrtr.WriteLine();
if (rowCount % 1000 == 0)
wrtr.Flush();
}
wrtr.Flush();
rdr.Close();
wrtr.Close();
File.Move(tempFileName, Server.MapPath("~") + "\\reports\\" +
CreateFileName());
}
