Jeremy: FYI, I've just tried it with the SQLite 3.7.0 preview and the same problem occurs.
Also, I'm not using any extra third-party libraries with my SQLite, so the problem isn't your Unicode extension.

Jeremy: I'm having the same problem with compiling SQLite against iOS 4 for the iPad simulator, but in my case it works fine running on an actual iPad (also works in the iPhone simulator and on an iPod Touch).
Same problem with 3.6.23.1, 3.6.23, and at least back to 3.6.21. Compiling against iOS 3.2 makes it work, though that's not really an option for iPhone (as opposed to iPad) apps.
I have no idea what to do about it or how big a problem it really is...

Pascal: The problem seems to have deep roots, however there is a solution, see the updated post. :)

Mathias: My sequence of calling is the following:
sqlite3_unicode_load() sqlite3_open(file,&db)
It crashes when trying to open the database. Perhaps the problem is related to linking against the libSQLiteUnicode. Some people in the Appe Devforum are reporting problems when linking against a 3rd-party Lib (Llike Flurry)

QuickLook Plugin for CSV files
Sunday, July 5th 2009 - 23:01 • 3 updates, last Wednesday, March 10th 2010 - 10:53
This one bugged me a long time, and over the weekend I decided that it's finally time to roll it: I created a simple QuickLook Plugin for CSV files.
The nice thing is - the Finder also uses this Plugin to create the Finder Icons. For speed reasons I decided to limit the display to the first 200 rows maximum, but since this thing is Open Source, you can change that whenever you like. The project website is here: http://code.google.com/p/quicklook-csv/. There you can also find a DMG containing a pre-compiled binary ready to use after download.
One thing that I'm not so sure is the UTI (Uniform Type Identifier) for CSV files. The plugin currently registers for the types listed in the Wiki, but OS X handles CSV files somewhat strange. I think the UTI for CSV files should be public.csv, analog to public.html or public.plain-text. But (at least on my Macs) OS X uses dyn.ah62d4rv4ge80g650. Well, whatever. If you discover other UTIs, please tell me so I can include these in the plugin. Otherwise it won't work for you.
Update Sept 8. 2009
Since Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Apple uses public.comma-separated-values-text as UTI. Fine with me. :)
Update March 10, 2010
Released a small update, it should now also display previews for FileMaker exports, files ending in ".tsv" and set the badge item accordingly to "tab" instead of "csv".

Nice job! Definitely a much nicer looking plug-in over the really simplistic one I had created. Added the note on Server Fault as well.

This is a fantastic plugin! Unfortunately, it doesn't work with csv data generated from FileMaker Pro. I wonder if it's because FMP encloses the data in parentheses. Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks, Ted

It should not have a problem with parentheses, any valid CSV should work. Is the file Ending ".csv"? Can you send me the output of the following Terminal command?
qlmanage -d1 -t file.csv

I've just spend a day looking for a way to view my bank statements correctly. Your plugin works better that any app out there. I just wish I could get the data to look that way in a spreadsheet or any app for that matter. Well done.

Ray: Having the same problem. Very frustrating. Luckily, for some reason my released version worked on the iPad itself, but now I can't get it to run in the simulator. Getting no such table, which I'm guessing is an initialization error. Will continue to investigate.
