I need to add columns header as first row on table
I Try as below but i get error

Msg 213, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.

Expected result as below :

SQL

CREATE TABLE #AllData

		PartID INT,	
		Code VARCHAR(20),	
		CodeTypeID INT,	
		RevisionID BIGINT,	
		ZPLID INT,	
		ConCount INT,
		FeatureName nvarchar(500),
		FeatureValue  nvarchar(500)

		)
		insert into #AllData VALUES(2020,'ab5060',877491,26553312,4125,10,'Heat','IC')
		insert into #AllData 
		SELECT STUFF((
            SELECT ',' + CAST(name AS VARCHAR(50))
            FROM (
                SELECT name
                FROM tempdb.sys.columns
				WHERE [object_id] = OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#AllData')
        
                ) k
            FOR XML PATH('')
            ), 1, 1, '')

			SELECT * FROM #AllData

You have numeric data types in your table, for example partid, so it's not possible to insert a row with text in those columns.

What you can do is that you add the column names in your select to the result set but in order to do this you'd need to convert all data to text and that's generally not a good idea.

I don't quite see the reason for your request. The only thing I can imagine is that you need to know the names of the columns on the client side. However, almost all modern query API's fetch the column metadata such as name, type, length etc so this would be easy to investigate on the client side even when you don't add the names of the columns into the data.
