Export Data Out without xp_cmdshell access

Hi,
One of the development team is testing sp's that need to exporting out data
as txt files. We do not like to grant execute access to 'xp_cmdshell' due to
any number of things that can be done through this in Operatind system.
How can I accomadate this?
The application is running on a Linux server which does not support bcp as
well.
Thank you for your help..
Execute a stored procedure which calls xp_cmdshell. No need to grant execution right for xp_cmdshell
in this case. Make sure that the procedure you create (in master) is owned by dbo so you don't have
a broken ownership chain.
