Adrian, I've read this.
CSV Format ... "The values in each record are separated by the DELIMITER character. If the value contains the delimiter character, the QUOTE character, the NULL string, a carriage return, or line feed character, then the whole value is prefixed and suffixed by the QUOTE character, and any occurrence within the value of a QUOTE character or the ESCAPE character is preceded by the escape character. You can also use FORCE_QUOTE to force quotes when outputting non-NULL values in specific columns." ...
So, if the column attribute is text of some flavor I still need to force quotes column-by-column? Guess I still need to import the output into a spreadsheet, format each text and date column, then write it out again as a .csv file ... or, better yet, write a one-line awk program that quotes the appropriate tokens! That's what I'll do. Thanks, Rich -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
