create an sql file like this (do_csv.sql):

set heading off
set space 0
set pages 0
set linesize 0
set echo off
set feedback off
spool my_csv.csv

select '"COL1","COL2"' from dual;
select '"'||col1||'"'||','||
       '"'||col2||'"'

from csv_tab;
spool off
exit;

Then, just run this file via sqlplus -s id/pass_at_db_name @do_csv

Works like a charm...
