thanks - what about a possibility to recognize special characters (i.e. \NULL) or delimiter""delimiter or delimiterdelimiter as NULL during the import? I'm only asking because you started to introduce this luxury feature ;-)

Oliver - thanks !

Hmmmmm.... so there is no way to specify (borrowing syntax from other DBs)
something like - "DELIMITED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY ' " ' ?

afaik this never worked with the original CLI (might be that you have
used
a fork that can do this)

I see 3 solutions:

if you can influence the delimiter take a reliable delimiter (a string
you're not using in your file - maybe a |)  and export without " as
markers
for text columns

if cant't influence the look of the source find and don't mind to do it
manually you can import into a spreadsheet program and use a reliable
delimiter without using "

if you like scripting you can create a little program with your favorite
language

How, then, do you import character columns that contain commas (like
addresses) from a .csv which uses commas as a delimiter?

Thanks !

Sorry, but the shell tool doesn't understand quotes in csv files.
