CSV files

CSV files are flat ASCII files where records are separated by newlines and fields are separated by a special character, like a comma or a semicolon.

The CSV file driver is primarly provided to help with migration of legacy data.

The GNUe CSV file driver uses Python's built-in csv module. It supports auto-guessing of the field separator and the quoting character.

Connection Properties

The following properties can be specified in your connections.conf file:

filename -- File name of the CSV file. Can contain %(home)s, %(configdir)s, and %(table)s placeholders. Using the %(table)s placeholder, this driver can be used to emulate a database with several tables.

Examples

The following is an example of a connection.conf entry:

  [myconn]
  provider = csvfile
  filename = %(home)s/data/%(table)s.csv

Notes

This driver does not support write access.
