TIMTOWTDI, as we say in the perl world, and we could debate it endlessly. This looks fine to me. a few points: . ESCAPE should default to same-as-quote . in CSV mode, NULL should default to '' - that was in what I sent in. . I assume that for now we will enforce the one byte rule for QUOTE and ESCAPE as well as for DELIMITER. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
