Subj:		Need Fastexport suggestion/help to delimit NULL data

From:		Sagare, Shrinivas

Hi All,

I have to extract huge data around (2 million) records from one table. Some fields are defined as VARCHAR(10000), so if I extracted this data in fixed width format then file size is becoming very huge (more than 50 GB). So I want to extract it in delimited fashion (pipe "|" delimited). If I concatenate each field and pipe to together, then I am getting problem, when any field value is NULL. If any one field value is NULL then I am getting whole record as NULL.

Can somebody help me to extract data in delimited fashion using fastexport.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
