Your approach more than meets my requirements. Data is formatted correctly and performance is simply amazing. OFFSET and \n are small details.
The only comment I'd make at this point is to consider if you really need a single string at the end. Keeping it as a list of lines may be more flexible. (It will consume more memory.) If you're doing more stuff with the string as lines then you'd need to re-split it, and so forth.
