Re: [How do I] export to tab delimited file? Sorry to ask.
Posted in 1998
Hi,
Under dbaccess, run a SQL statement like this:
UNLOAD TO '<filename>' DELIMITER '<delimiter>'
SELECT * FROM myTable;
I'm by no mean Informix people... I'm a humble MSSQL guy just happened to come
across the need to dump an Informix table to delimited text file this morning.
:-)
Thanks, tata.
