Try to start isql and execute something like the following:
unload to 'filename'
select * from tablename
You get fields delimited with |
If you want another delimiter use:
unload to 'filename' delimiter 'x'
select * from tablename
Where x is whatever single character you want as a delimiter (one that
doesn't exist in your data).
Do the above for every table in the database.
Alternatively you could also use the dbexport utility if you have it.
It will generate equivalent files for every table in your database.
