So, to all the SQL wizards out there... How would one perform this same operation, but using the INFORMATION_SCHEMA virtual db to provide the column headings in the first row rather having to hand type them as shown above? Bonus marks for beginning the line with a #.... My attempt stalled as soon as I got one column of data in the result set with a row for each column of the target table. SELECT COLUMNS FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'test' AND TABLE_NAME = 'testtable' Ideas? TIA, -jp
