Description
This module implements an efficient output filter that converts Resty-DBD-Streams (RDS) generated by ngx_drizzle and ngx_postgres to Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format in a streaming fashion. By default, the CSV format is in compliance with RFC 4180:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180
SQL NULL values will be converted to empty field value, just like empty string values.
