  If you have:
  2 string3 stri"ng4
  
  then the result using MS Excel is:
  2,string3,"stri""ng4"
  
  What show above is there is no double quote (") for: 2 and string3.
  This what CSV (Comma Separated Value) means in Excel.
  
  BUT, how does SQL Server 2K handling CSV?
  The CSV created by SQL Server 2K is:
  2,string3,stri"ng4
  
  Interested?

  I don't know what is the relevance of SQL Server 2K here or how it handles CSV.
  
  The following CSV formats:
  
  2,string3,"stri""ng4"
  
  and
  
  "2","string3","stri""ng4"
  
  ARE BOTH VALID and accepted by MS Excel.
  
  What I wanted to highlight here is a bug in CSV export because it doesn't escape double quotes.
