John's answer is the correct one for doing it on the CF server side.
Here's how I would do it on the SQL server side. For MySQL:
SELECT * INTO OUTFILE '/location/of/file.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM AnyTable
For MSSQL, it can be simple or complicated:
simple:
1. Run your query in SQL Server Management Studio
2. Highlight the resultset
3. Copy/paste into excel
4. Save as CSV
complicated, run BCP command line utility on the SQL Server:
c:\>bcp DatabaseName.dbo.TableName out C:\fileLocation.csv -c -t "," -S
SERVERNAME -U username -P password
Have fun!
