> I think the delimiter of CSV better not to be configurable, as the name of CSV means(Comma-Separated Values). You make a very valid point. RFC 4180 itself acknowledges "considerable differences among implementations" and advises implementors to "be liberal in what you accept from others" when processing CSV files. Major data processing tools like Spark and DataX and etc support configurable CSV delimiters to handle this reality. As evidenced by Apache Commons CSV's predefined formats, different database systems use various delimiters - MySQL uses tabs, Informix uses pipes, while Oracle and PostgreSQL offer both comma and tab variants. The standard's own flexibility principle supports accommodating these widespread industry practices rather than enforcing rigid comma-only interpretation. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
