Looks nice. So, how does [Python] handle these column types:
CLOB
BINARY
DATALINK
I ran into some of these just last week trying to use iNav's Export.
I suppose you have to CAST, like I did when I used the export, right?

I would think so. I haven't used those types myself. I'm not sure
you would want to put any of those into a CSV in the first place; but
if you had to, CASTing is probably the most sane.

Ultimately, Python's CSV module tries to convert everything to string
(using Python's built-in str() function) just before writing, and if
that conversion fails, then of course the write fails. So arbitrary
binary data may need to be uuencoded or similar.
