The following example is a simple database using delimited files. Each table uses a different combination of column and record delimiters. The Omnidex Environment File is displayed below; however, the entire example, including sample data files, can be downloaded as a ZIP file at the following link: Download ZIP File.
The following statements will create and build an Omnidex Environment containing delimited files:

The ZIP file also contains the file sql/export.sql. This file gives examples of how to create delimited files from another Omnidex environment using EXPORT statements:
connect to simple.xml
export (select *
from COUNTRIES)
to dat/countries.csv
with DELIMITED COLUMN=',' RECORD=\r\n QUOTES DELETE;
export (select *
from STATES)
to dat/states.txt
with DELIMITED COLUMN=\t RECORD=\r\n QUOTES DELETE;
export (select *
from GENDERS)
to dat/genders.txt
with DELIMITED COLUMN=| RECORD=\r\n QUOTES DELETE;
export (select *
from HOUSEHOLDS)
to dat/households.txt
with DELIMITED COLUMN=## RECORD=\n QUOTES DELETE;
export (select *
from INDIVIDUALS)
to dat/individuals.txt
with DELIMITED COLUMN=%% RECORD=~~ QUOTES DELETE;
disconnect
