It's not IC or MySQL that is doing this - it's MS Excel. When you export 
and Excel spreadsheet to one of the text file types, Excel double-quotes 
text strings ad nauseum. There is an EXCEL property you can add to database 
definitions that is supposed to counteract this, but I have not used it for 
some time and I'm not sure how it plays with SQL tables:
