Hello all,

I've recently begun to study the sapdb and so far I really like it.  We are
looking to move off of MS-SQL Server but I just don't feel MySQL has all the
features we need so I'm glad to have found sapdb.

I have been working with the loadercli and reading the archives on it.  I
just wanted to double-check some of the functionality so I don't go off and
code something that is already there.

When importing csv files, if *any* field is delimited by double quotes then
*all* fields need to be delimited by double quotes.  Is my understanding
correct?  For instance, exporting from SQL Server will put double quotes
around varchar fields while not double quoting int, datetime, etc. fields.
I then have to transform the data somehow in order to be able to import with
the loadercli tool if I don't want to write an app to insert the rows
one-by-one, correct?

The app I'm developing needs to do an import at least once a week of over
1GB of data from separate csv files that come to us with certain fields
delimited by double quotes and others not.  I have no control over how the
data is exported so I just want to be sure I have the correct understanding.

Thanks!
Derek Hamilton
