    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2666?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12806005#comment-12806005 ] 

Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-2666:
---------------------------------------

As Ramesh say this would require odata4j to support extensible formats since they are unlikely to add direct support for csv - which from the odata mailing lists there is resistance toward considering in general given the lack of metadata and lack of a standard way to represent hierarchical data.

Assuming xml/atom and applying xslt on top while conceptually simple would still require an odata4j extension - and would require even more changes on their side as the format strings would not be fixed.

So for us to pursue this it would have to be pretty high value as we'd likely end up with temporary (or permanent) patches against odata4j.

> We would like to see the available output formats of the OData services be extended with CSV (Command Seperated Values) upon customer request.
> It would be great if we could extend it ourselves using for example XSLT or other transformation mechanism.
