| identifiers | "double quotes" or [brackets] | Double quotes; a literal quote is doubled ("" ) |
| row limit | LIMIT n | — |
| dates | TEXT (no date type) | Dates often use D/M/Y or D.M.Y in European exports |
| long text | TEXT | — |
| binary | BLOB | Not supported |
| separator | — | Semicolon ";" |
| encoding | — | Often ANSI or Latin-1 in European exports; UTF-8 needs a BOM |
