I used to write to text files from SQL Server using the code listed below:

DECLARE @FS INT         --File System Object 
DECLARE @OLEResult INT  --Result message/code
DECLARE @FileID INT     --Pointer to file

--Create file system object (OLE Object)    
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FS OUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'Scripting.FileSystemObject.Failed'

-----OPEN FILE-----
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OAMethod @FS, 'OpenTextFile', @FileID OUT, @FileName, 8, 1
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'OpenTextFile.Failed'

It appears this is no longer supported in sql server 2008 r2. How should I export to text files in sql server 2008 r2?
