If this is something that you'll never ever have to do again in the
future, you could download ExecuteQuery which has a function to export
a result set as either XML or CSV delimited file output.
OTOH, if this is going to be something run on a regular basis, I think
you'd be better off writing a little program, or as David suggested
embedding this into a shell script.
