    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-962?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12548991#action_12548991 ] 

Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-962:
--------------------------------------

Another approach for those who want to treat text as tables (not just import/export) is to use the text table functionality of hsql http://hsqldb.org/doc/guide/ch06.html to represent the files as tables, then import the tables into teiid.  We could also consider providing a wrapper of this approach in a more turnkey manner.

> A requirement to produce a CSV file reflecting the contents of a query result set so it can be subsequently FTP'd or email'd. In Nov 07 implemented this feature using the exec connector, a shell script and mods to JDBCISQL.  
> Suggested capability:  function will take the following parameters:
> - Temp table name as string
> - Target file name (path qualified) as string
> - Delimiter as string
> When invoked, the specified temp table contents will be written out to the specified file using the specified delimiter to separate the column values.
> This generic capability will allow the CSV file thats needed and subsequently process it with other UDF functionality as necessary.
> Open questions:
> 1. How does file path behave in a clustered environment?  Is it relative to the MM Server install dir or fully qualified?
> Suggest this feature remain undocumented for the short term.
