A word of advice: if there is any chance that a column (e.g. text) contains
an embedded newline, you will be much better off outputting the data in
simple xml, instead of CSV. This works very well with Excel for import. I
just did a simple program for this recently.

Greetings,
I am running postgres 7.4.7 on debian sarge.
I need to run an SQL query and store the results in a file. The format
needs to be comma separated values (CSV), so I can import this later in
Excel.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
much appreciated,
Ryan
