1. There are multiple record types (with unique formats per

The classic one-off is to use SQL:
select empno concat '|' concat trim(empname) concat '|'...
from employees
order by empno...

I think for single-format CSVs (and TSVs, etc.), SQL is a classic
one-off technique. For my taste, it becomes unwieldy once you have to
do multiple formats interspersed in the same output, though.
