Brenden Cobb commented on SQOOP-1175:
-------------------------------------
The single delimiter is pretty restrictive. I often need to get data in/out of
Oracle that has yet to be cleaned, so there are embedded (typical) delimiter
characters all over. A double delimiter is an easy way to alleviate the pain of
workarounds outside of Sqoop.
Custom delimiters is a very basic feature of sqlldr and it seems like a natural
fit for Sqoop.
> Allow using multiple character delimiters

> Key: SQOOP-1175
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1175
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4.4
> Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
>
> All 4 currently supported delimiters are defined as a {{char}}
> ([code|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/lib/DelimiterSet.java#L27])
> effectively allowing only single character delimiters. It might be useful to
> convert those into string and allow multiple character delimiters.
