I don't understand what you are aiming at. A "SQL File" is (in my understanding) a file that contains SQL statements (such as SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE). It cannot be edited "in columns".

Do you by any chance mean to edit the data data of a table e.g. in a tab-separated text files? (aka "CSV")?

This should be possible using Excel or OpenOffice without problems, but that is not a MySQL problem.

I don't know HeidiSQL but probably you can simply run the SELECT there, and then edit the data directly in the result.
