A String value that represents the field delimiter.

Remarks

When the FieldDelimiter property is set to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string value, the default delimiter \n<x$3>\n is used.

When setting FieldDelimiter, it is important to choose a delimiter value that will never be included in part of any published data value or else there will be ambiguity as to where data is delimited when the generated bcp file is applied to the Subscriber.
