Can one use COPY TO stdout to output a literal NUL byte as the delimiter? # \encoding UTF8 # copy (select * from q limit 1) to stdout with (format csv, delimiter E'\000', header false); ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00 # \encoding sql_ascii # copy (select * from q limit 1) to stdout with (format csv, delimiter E'\000', header false); ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00 The archives of this list don't seem to have anything interesting, and Google doesn't either.
