Common Pitfalls When Exporting RedShift to CSV
- A comma inside a value forces quoting - fields holding commas, double quotes or line breaks must be wrapped in quotes.
- Excel reads UTF-8 CSV as ANSI unless the file starts with a BOM, so add the BOM when a spreadsheet is the target.
- CRLF and LF are both valid row separators - pick one and stay consistent or row counts differ between tools.
- SUPER and GEOMETRY columns have no text equivalent and must be cast first.
- UNLOAD writes to S3 and needs a manifest plus explicit delimiters.
