Answer 1

Are you using "java.sql.ResultSet" class? If yes, see the library in this link http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/

See an example:

CSVWriter csvWriter = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter("yourfile.csv"), '\t');
java.sql.ResultSet myResultSet = .... ;
csvWriter.writeAll(myResultSet, includeHeaders);

Answer 2

Get the value for the column that could have new lines as

String multiLine = null;
if (k == <col_index> && (mutiLine = rs.getString(k)) != null)
    out.append(multiLine.replaceAll("\\n", ""));
else
    out.append(result.getString(k));

You could filter all the columns as well but then would incur some performance hit.
