I want to remove column header from SQL Server query output. I did the search but not found any solution. I have a query eg.
select cc.DepartmentID , cc.Name from HumanResources.Department cc
When I run this query I am getting output like this.
ID Name
12 Document Control
1 Engineering
16 Executive
14 Facilities and Maintenance
10 Finance
9 Human Resources
I want to remove ID and Name (Column Header) from the output in SQL Server.
I will run this query by script to generate csv file.
Edit:
When i run the query by script i got the csv file as output and it look like this.
#TYPE System.Data.DataRow
ID Name
Update:
I am putting powershell script.
$Database = "temp"
$Server = "localhost"
$AttachmentPath = "output.csv"
# Connect to SQL and query data, extract data to SQL Adapter
$SqlQuery = "select cc.DepartmentID , cc.Name from HumanResources.Department cc"
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Data Source=$Server;Initial Catalog=$Database;Integrated Security = True"
$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$SqlCmd.CommandText = $SqlQuery
$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection
$SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
$SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd
$DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
$nRecs = $SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet)
$nRecs | Out-Null
#Populate Hash Table
$objTable = $DataSet.Tables[0]
#Export Hash Table to CSV File
$objTable | Export-CSV $AttachmentPath
I want to remove column header from output.
In SSMS Under Tools/Options/Query Results/SQL Server/Results to Text there is a checkbox to 'Include column headers in the result set'. Similar for results to grid.
If you are using sqlcmd via powershell you can use /h-1 to disable the headers.
This setting corresponds to the environment variable SQLCMDHEADERS.
Tips and Tricks
Use a value of -1 to specify that no headers should be printed. If -1 is supplied, there must be no space between the parameter and the setting, that is, -h-1. Otherwise, SQLCMD interprets it as a separate option and fails.
Example (modified from [TechNet])1:
sqlcmd -q /h-1 "SELECT * FROM AdventureWorks2012.Person.Person"
will also work with -h-1
In management studio at query window right click and select Query options. Look for Result>Text at a tree in the left and check out Include column headers in result set option. I think Hamlet Hakobyan is right, it is client that add column headers.
Replace your last line $objTable | Export-CSV $AttachmentPath
with
$objTable | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation | select -Skip 1 | out-file $AttachmentPath
