A single ASCII character to separate fields in the input file. You can use characters such as pipe (|), tilde (~), or a tab (\t). The delimiter you specify should not be a part of the data. If the delimiter is a part of data, use ESCAPE to read the delimiter character as a regular character. Default is \036, the octal representation of the non-printable character, record separator.

You can add an escape character for CHAR and VARCHAR columns in delimited unload files before occurrences of the following characters:

Linefeed \n
Carriage return \r
Delimiter character specified for the unloaded data
Escape character \
Single- or double-quote character

The Unload command writes data in parallel to multiple files, according to the number of slices in the cluster. Default is ON. If you turn the Parallel option off, the Unload command writes data serially. The maximum size of a data file is 6.5 GB.

Specify the Amazon Redshift Role Resource Name (ARN) to run the on installed on an Amazon EC2 system in the following format:

AWS_IAM_ROLE=arn:aws:iam::<account ID>:role/<role-name>

ADDQUOTES is implemented with the UNLOAD command by default. Do not specify the ADDQUOTES option in the advanced source properties. The Unload command adds quotation marks to each data field. With added quotation marks, the UNLOAD command can read data values that contain the delimiter. If double quote (") is a part of data, use ESCAPE to read the double quote as a regular character.
