Tested with PHP+MySql.
When exporting to Excel from a table containing TEXT fields, following the example from CCS Example Pack, every carriage return + line feed is converted to a <br>. This forces Excel to a new row.
To have your text in a single cell add in the <head> section:
<style>
br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}
</style>

Hope it helps.

Andrea,
I had this very problem earlier this week. I will try with Postgres and report the outcome.

Thanks for sharing.

Works like a charm with Postgres too ;)
