Use this BCP script to generate CSV file:

bcp "SELECT ''ID'', ''Username'' UNION ALL SELECT CAST(u.ID as varchar(10)),u.USERNAME from DavidTest.dbo.DavidUser u" queryout "c:\output.csv" -c -t"," -r"\n" -SServerName -T

If you want to run in SSMS, you can use:

USE MASTER GO DECLARE @query varchar(4000)

SET @query = '"SELECT...."'; EXEC xp_cmdshell @bcpOut GO
