For exporting SQL to Excel, you can use a Dataset in your application; and then fill the Dataset with your SQL Query Result; finally you can build your excel workbook with data in the Data set. As for the header and table attributes, I am sorry that I can't help.

SQL

Alter PROCEDURE asp_Classtest
AS                   
BEGIN   

--creating new copy of CSV every time 
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'del H:\CSVTest\asp_ClassReport.csv'    
 
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'copy H:\CSVTest\asp_ClassReportModel.csv h:\CSVTest\asp_ClassReport.csv'


INSERT INTO OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0;Database=C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.Ser\Desktop\Report.xls;',
'SELECT * FROM [DATA$]')
select * from Test1


END

with the above approach, if you know the columns already, then you can create header in the model.csv file.

To export data to new EXCEL file with heading(column names), create the following procedure

create procedure proc_generate_excel_with_columns
(
@db_name varchar(100),
@table_name varchar(100),
@file_name varchar(100)
)
as

--Generate column names as a recordset
declare @columns varchar(8000), @sql varchar(8000), @data_file varchar(100)
select
@columns=coalesce(@columns+',','')+column_name+' as '+column_name
from
information_schema.columns
where
table_name=@table_name
select @columns=''''''+replace(replace(@columns,' as ',''''' as '),',',',''''')

--Create a dummy file to have actual data
select @data_file=substring(@file_name,1,len(@file_name)-charindex('\',reverse(@file_name)))+'\data_file.xls'

--Generate column names in the passed EXCEL file
set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp " select * from (select '+@columns+') as t" queryout "'+@file_name+'" -c'''
exec(@sql)

--Generate data in the dummy file
set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp "select * from '+@db_name+'..'+@table_name+'" queryout "'+@data_file+'" -c'''
exec(@sql)

--Copy dummy file to passed EXCEL file
set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''type '+@data_file+' >> "'+@file_name+'"'''
exec(@sql)

--Delete dummy file
set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''del '+@data_file+''''
exec(@sql)

After creating the procedure, execute it by supplying database name, table name and file path

EXEC proc_generate_excel_with_columns 'your dbname', 'your table name','your file path'
