Hi. I recently used H2 for its ability to parse, manipulate, and
filter CSV files. (Or in my case, a TSV file.) It worked great, so I
think H2 is da bomb!

My only complaint would be that H2 canonicalized the TSV headers to be
all uppercase. I can see that this is often the desired behavior in
order to make SQL queries easier to write. But in my case this
behavior wasn't quite optimal, as I was writing out TSV files that
were filtered versions of the input files, and I needed the headers to
be exactly preserved.

This was no biggie: I just had to do some extra work to reopen the TSV
file myself and re-extract the headers in my own code so that I could
write out the unmolested headers to the output files. In general, it
would have be a lot more convenient, however, if H2's CSV reader were
to have an option to leave the CSV headers alone. If this enhancement
were made, H2 would be the uber CSV manipulation tool!
