I don't have any experience with the sql task, but I have faced this type of thing in the past and solved it by using the echo task to create a file with something like "<property_name>=" and then use another task to append to the file by setting the command output to use the same file with append=true. This generates a file with contents similar to "<property_name>=value". I then use loadproperties to load the resulting file.

Thank you,

You cant directly, but you might be able to use the output attribute to
store the user_id in a file and then read the contents of the file into
a property with LoadFile. Its worth a shot, but I wonder if you will
get more information in the file than just user_id.
