Export a table to csv or text file with Column headers

How do you export a table to include not only the table data but the header
row information as well

I need to import data from one database to another network database, but I
need the header row information so that I can do field mapping?

Thanks

Click to expand...

Can you not connect directly and export/import? What if you at least
temporarily attach the source/destination table and create an append
query? if you do that, you can save the Export/Import specification
(click on Advanced when you're running the export setup).

No, there are too many hoops to jump through. One database is in one
company, one one network

The destination database is on a third party database on another network,
and b/c of red tape/beuracracry, etc ,etc, I can't get the two sides to allow
access to each others networks.

So it was mentioned to get a pipe delimited or some type of delimited
csv/text file that could be used to import the data... but like i said, when
I try it with access, i just get the data

When i use pl/sql to connect to the oracle database and issue commands to
create a file, I get the same thing... data with no header row
