I dunno, but unless you don't really care about your data, I'd use something
that you have no chance of in your data. Things like | and ~ are pretty standard
field separators.

So you'd use things like FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' in your MySQL export
and WITH DELIMITER '|' NULL '' in your postgresql import

Also remember that mySQL nulls are nothing like postgresql nulls.
