yeah -- that's the best way if you want actual csv, from psql you'd probably want to do \copy: postgres=# \copy (select 1, '"', 'ab,c') to stdout csv header; ?column?,?column?,?column? 1,"""","ab,c" note that per csv rules columns are only required to be quoted to protect from unambiguous parsing. also, double quotes in your field will be escaped. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
