BUG #: 57799 (SQLBUG_70)

SYMPTOMS

All the rows in a result set are not saved to a file when you use Query Analyzer, if you select the "Results in Grid" option and you run a query, which returns more than 128 rows, and you then try to save the results of the query to a comma separated variable (CSV) file.

WORKAROUND

Use the "Results in Text" option if you want to save the results to a file. When you use the "Results in Text" option, all the rows in the result set are saved to the file.
