    While I'm exporting sql query details to CSV file I get the column headers and after the column I get minus symbol below the column headers followed by the data. IS there a way where I can get only the column headers and not the minus symbol.

    Server_Name Instance_name User_name

    ------------- -------------- ----------

    xys.com sql24 user1

    xys.com sql24 user1

    xys.com sql24 user1

    I dont want this "---------" symbol. I want the o/p as

    Server_Name Instance_name User_name

    xys.com sql24 user1

    xys.com sql24 user1

    xys.com sql24 user1

    How are you doing the export? For example, are you using SQLCmd, BCP, or someother method? I ask because it does make a real difference.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
