John:
Now for part two. Once I create this table, I do some work on it and overwrite the text file with a COPY TO name DELIMITED WITH TAB (after making a backup of course). The help says I can stack WITH commands (i.e.; DELIMITED WITH BLANK WITH TAB) but it doesn't work. I need the resulting file to be tab delimited with no string delimiters (quotes around each field). Can you help with this?
