I am trying to remove the header row from my query results and only include it on one line that being the first line of the output. I know how to set header off and remove it all together but that is not what I want to do. I have even set pagesize 0 and this does not work.
Thanks

Is your output more than 50,000 lines? If not, set your pagesize to that (ie. the maximum allowed).

And if the output is more than 50,000 lines you should seriously consider it. Who read 50,000 lines?

It is more than 50000. It's going to be used to populate a test DB.

This is like using a hammer to divide a board into 2 pieces.
In My Opinion, spooling is the wrong tool to load a test DB,
but you are free to do things the hard way.

Then why have a header at all?

Incidentally, I have used a hammer to split a board in two, when it didn't need to be two equal parts. That, and me jumping on it Wink

That's why I posted in the newbie section. Looking for any helpful suggestions. The header row was requested because it was thought that a field was missing and they want to check against the header row.

You do NOT need 50000+ rows to validate all the columns exist & are in the correct order.
