Which of the following is NOT listed as a CSV file format option for unloading?

• A. COMPRESSION
• B. RECORD DELIMITER
• C. TIME FORMAT
• D. ENCODING

Answer: (D)

When unloading to a CSV file, you control how the output is written by using a CSV file format option set. You can specify compression to determine whether the files are compressed and with what algorithm, record delimiter to decide how rows are separated, and time format to define how time-related values are serialized in the CSV. The encoding option is not part of the CSV file format options for unloading, so you can’t set the character encoding through the CSV file format in this context. If you need to influence encoding, that would be handled outside of the CSV unload format settings.
