Re: sql to output row as csv string

What's an "SQL Service" statement?

I've been following this thread as I still would like to be able to execute
SQL statements by putting them in a source file and then running a plug-in
to produce a csv.

That's different than what OP has stated that he wants, but what you
want is pretty easy to do with Python. Well, it wouldn't be a plug-in,
but it could be made to be about as convenient to use as a plug-in.

Every solution I've seen so far (and I could well be missing something)
requires me to create a temporary file, or a stored procedure or has
restrictions on the SQL statements that can be run.

I think a stored procedure would be a good approach. What don't you
like about that idea?
