Specifies the delimiter between rows in the output of the data extraction facility for an ASCII extraction.
Option can be set at the database (PUBLIC) or user level. When set at the database level, the value becomes the default for any new user, but has no impact on existing users. When set at the user level, overrides the PUBLIC value for that user only. No system privilege is required to set option for self. System privilege is required to set at database level or at user level for any user other than self.
Requires the SET ANY PUBLIC OPTION system privilege to set this option. Can be set temporary for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC role. Takes effect immediately.
TEMP_EXTRACT_ROW_DELIMITER specifies the delimiter between rows in the output of the data extraction facility. In the case of an ASCII extraction, the default is to end the row with a newline on UNIX platforms and with a carriage return/newline pair on Windows platforms.
The delimiter must occupy 1 – 4 bytes and must be valid in the collation order you are using, if you are using a multibyte collation order. Choose a delimiter that does not occur in any of the data output strings. The default for the TEMP_EXTRACT_ROW_DELIMITER option is the empty string. SAP Sybase IQ converts the empty string default for this option to the newline on UNIX platforms and to the carriage return/newline pair on Windows platforms.
