How to export Table-A with a change in column header into a CSV?

Answer 1

Simply write a select where you give your columnnames another ALIAS.

You can use it 2 ways.

1. You can export to CSV though your database in Management Studio
2. You can add it as OLE DB Source in SSIS and then add a flat file destination which points to a CSV File.

SQL Query

SELECT 
Client_Code as [Client Code]
,Client_Name as [Client Name]
,POST_HC_STK as [Post Haircut Stock]
FROM TableA

You can also write it like this - Which in my opinon is easier to read:

SELECT 
[Client Code]        = Client_Code,
[Client Name]        = Client_Name,
[Post Haircut Stock] = POST_HC_STK
FROM TableA
