RE: [csv] Fixes for commons-csv
Hi All,
I've just come across the need to do CSV work but from the JDBC POV.
This made me think of this project and whether a JDBC CSV driver could use [csv] as it's guts.
The higher-level issue though, is whether I would use [csv] at all when I can use a more complete API like JDBC.
This might explain why [csv] never made it out of the sandbox.
My question to Jacopo is: Have you considered going the JDBC route?
Curious,

But then you get into Eclipse ODA territory...
How configurable does it have to be?

RE: [csv] Fixes for commons-csv
Posted by ad...@sandglass-software.com.
Having a JDBC driver would make using CSV files a lot simpler. If the
"guts" were pluggable, you could use the same driver for SDF files,
Excel files, Open Doc data, etc.

I am currently using commons-csv simply as a tool to read data from CSV files (then with custom scripts the records are processed and transformed into data for the Apache OFBiz ERP).
I have never considered the JDBC route, even if I am not 100% sure I understand how you would use this,
Kind regards,
Jacopo
