Why I built this / Issues with exporting from SMSS

The issue is the delimitation. If a data cell contains a comma and line break, then the export tool kind of ignores it by default.

There is a setting inside of SSMS that supposedly fixes this, but it still has issues. The line breaks can still leave broken unusable CSV records.
