Write a delimted file to S3

Hi

I need to write about ~100 files to S3. I have different schema for each file and instead of having few 100 jobs, planning to use RCP.

The job design is something like this:

sequential file --> copy --> s3

No columns are defined and the sequential file uses a schema file.

The schema file the columns are defined as ustring. It is a supported data type, but s3 fails saying it is unsupported.

When I have the same file written to a SQL Server table to a nvarchar field, I am able to read properly from the table and load to S3. Should we have ustring mapped to nvarchar for loading to s3?

Can't we have a job writing file to s3 using ustring data type?

One might think so, but it would require that the S3 instance supports Unicode. Not all do.
