How does it mess it up? CSV facilitates newlines in the data by wrapping in quotes any cells containing them. I just did a quick text using: .mode csv select MyField from MyTable; where data in myField contains newlines etc, and SQLite seemed to output correctly, wrapping those data elements in double quotes. into what other program do you want to import the resulting CSV? All software that properly handles CSV importing should handle the output from SQLite correctly (according to by brief test). > I am thinking, maybe I should not allow storing line breaks in the > database I think that's extreme and starts scrambling the egg.
