Fixed-Width Text to SQL Notes

• Columns are defined by widths, not by a delimiter: for N columns you enter N-1 widths, e.g. 10,25,8.
• No delimiter and no quoting are used — spaces are part of the column.
• A header row is optional and leading rows can be skipped.
• When writing fixed-width output, widths can be detected from the data automatically (measured width + 15% slack, at least 2 and at most 15 extra characters).
• The encoding (UTF-8, ANSI, UTF-16, ...) can be detected or set explicitly.
