Thanks Garth.  Actually Im trying to change the delimiter in the context of
running a sql file from the command line - so in this case, I would want to
change from tab to csv

 mysql -h db#-reports.adz -u readonly -p < script.sql > output.csv ads12

I'm not sure in what context you want to change the delimiter, but here's
the doc page on the LOAD DATA command which shows how to terminate (a.k.a.
delimit) fields with different characters:
