Subject: ob-sql error because of not specifying column-seperator
Date: Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:01:55 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101203.140155.105952638.joost@snow.nl> (raw)

Hi,

when using babel SQL, the column's in the resultset are converted to
org-tables using (org-table-import file sep).

The command used to retrieve the information from the databaseserver
gets the option to use the tab (\t) as columnseperator. 

The call to org-table-import however doesn't specify this
seperator. This leaves it to org-table-import to find out what the
seperator is. org-table-import doesn't always succeed in this. Hence
the diff below which sets the seperator to <tab> (\t).

regards,

Joost Helberg
