Export to CSV format (Db2Csv)       

Description:
Db2Csv allows you to export all the data from one or all tables in a database
in CSV (comma separated value) format. Each column is separated by a comma;
if the column contains a comma it is enclosed in quotes.
Db2Csv writes the output by default to "table.csv" unless you
specify with the '-o' option a different output file.
Db2Csv also create the a header with all column names
unless you specify the "-n" option to write the CSV without the header line.
Db2Csv writes one line for each record.
If you dont specify a table with the "-t" option Db2Csv will export all tables.
Db2Csv writes all diagnostics to a log file "logs/yyyymmdd/db2csv.log"
The exported CSV data can be used in spreadsheets or imported into any
other databases with the DbLoad utility.
Note that In demo mode up to 100 records can be exported.

Syntax:
-usage: db2csv [-sn] [-d{db}] [-o{out}] [-t{tab}]
-d = DATABASE: Specify database input file (default Sample.mdb)
-o = OUTPUT  : Specify output filename (default Table.{xml|txt|csv|htm})
                 -o STDOUT writes directly to standard output not a file
-t = TABLE   : Specify Table name (default is all tables)
                 or table number ('#3' = 3rd table)
-s = SILENT  : Dont show diagnostics (XX Records written..)
-n = NOHEADER: Dont write DTD (XML), header line (TXT, CSV, HTML)
