Rob,

Here's a redacted output line:

8,2019-04-08,Phone,Went to voice mail @ 14:48; didn't leave a message. Call
Wednesday morning,8,<lname>,<fname>,537,537,<company_name>

No quoted text fields.

text fields are quoted only when it is necessary

[pavel@localhost src]$ psql -c "select 'ahoj' as x, 'svete' as y" --csv
Assertions: on
x,y
ahoj,svete
[pavel@localhost src]$ psql -c "select 'ahoj' as x, 'sve,te' as y" --csv
Assertions: on
x,y
ahoj,"sve,te"

If you need forced quoting, you need to use COPY TO STDOUT statement

[pavel@localhost src]$ psql -c "copy (select 'ahoj' as x, 'svete' as y) to stdout force quote * csv header"
Assertions: on
x,y
"ahoj","svete"
 

Regards

Pavel
