Remove column header from SQL Server query result

Question

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.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Replace your last line $objTable | Export-CSV $AttachmentPath with

$objTable | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation | select -Skip 1 | out-file $AttachmentPath

Answer 4

Using the Save As option would not include the attribute (column) names.

Answer 5

in your script, pipe (|) the output to the "tail +3" command. this will skip the first 2 lines of output from the SQL.

Answer 6

set this after connecting to database SET HEADING OFF
