Description:
If the last column of a table is a VARCHAR and you attempt to make an export, the last column does not have double quotes wrapped around the string.  This means if you attempted to do a mass insert to a table with that script, it would fail.  Therefore you would have to manually correct the data or concatenate the quotes on the last column.

How to repeat:
query all or selected columns from a table where the last column in the select list is a VARCHAR(255) or any size.  Then export the output using the export icon showing excel to a CSV file.  Look at the file using notepad++ and NOT Excel.  Notice the double quotes are missing from the last string on every exported record.
