Q: I want to export Chinese Text data from an SQL server database to a CSV file. Setting up the Limagito rule was simple: SQL input and an output directory. I am actually using an SQL Select because the data that I want to export results from a join. Unfortunately the exported file is in ANSI encoding. Since my SQL Server source has nvarchar fields, some of them with Chinese text in them, I cannot use the CSV. Is there any way to tell Limagito to output CSV from an SQL Server source as UTF-8?
A: We had to add some new options in version v2020.12.4 to achieve this.
