If I'm correct, what you want is that, when you paste into Excel, there
would be some kind of automatic typing of columns. I don't see that as

No sorry you misunderstand. I just want an additional row at the top with the column names in it. Nothing complex.
I suppose it should be "Copy with column names". (It's just called "Copy with Headers" in SQL Server Management Studio.)
1. I guess it'll be windows only, which doesn't please me.
No, same as copying data out of the Data Output pane now, works on mac and windows and probably every other platform. Format is controlled with "Result copy quote character" and "Result copy field separator".
2. I suppose they use some kind of Excel specific format, which we don't
know.
No, the same format that data is copied out, just text with some separators and quote characters. Just an additional row at the top with the column names.
3. I don't own a copy of Excel, meaning I cannot test such a change.
Paste it into a text editor to test it.
Thanks a lot!
