I have a user that requires a non-spatial SQL Server Table provided to them as a Tab Separated CSV file. I have found the CSV writer, but cannot find an option to output as tab separated instead of the Comma Separated.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks very much for your time.

Cheers

Add a "CSV (Comma Separated Value)" writer. Under parameters, use the drop-down to change the delimiter to "tab".

That should do it for you. Cheers.
