Very Nice article. Covered a lot of ground and it's a pleasure to actually see commented formatted code. I've seen a method to write to text files using linked servers through the use of a file called Schema.ini (I think that's what it's called). Sure would be nice to see a follow-up article on that.
Like someone said before me, "Thanks for sharing your research!"
