Including unquoted delimiter characters seems kind of insane. But including the quote characters or quoted delimiter characters seems reasonable. The alternative would be interpreting NULL strings after dequoting but that would leave no way to include the NULL string literally. This solution means there's no way to include it (if it needs quoting) but only when you specify it this way. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
