Welcome to the hell of database migration, or the heaven if you are a
paid consultant :-).

I'm afraid that you have to write your own little CSV parser that does
character conversion and quote handling. Should take only a few hours.

The big players, Oracle, IBM, SAP/MySQL could improve the situation
but they also get about 2000 US$ for one day consulting. So why should
they change anything by implementing a common standart ?
