Hi again, How about defining a table (t1) with ~ as the delimiter and then creating a view to that table which uses the regexp_replace UDF?
CREATE VIEW v_user_access AS SELECT regexp_replace(ip, "\"", "") as ip, ... FROM t1; Not sure the implications on joining, but basic queries should work ok I would think.
