This does not create an CSV file, result is like this:

 iddes | langid |                label                |  id  |  north   |  south   |   west   |   east
     1 | de     | Armenien                            |    1 |  41,2971 |  38,8411 |  43,4542 |  46,6205
     2 | de     | Afghanistan                         |    2 |   38,472 |  29,4061 |  60,5042 |  74,9157
     3 | de     | Albanien                            |    3 |  42,6603 |   39,645 |  19,2885 |  21,0533

psql is PostgreSQL command. This means, connect to postgreSQL database via port 5433.

You can handle the line breaks thusly, if url has line breaks in the results:

select ‘”‘||url||’”‘ from urltable where scoreid=1 limit 25000;

That will enclose the url results in quotation marks so the line breaks will be preserved without forcing them as newlines in the csv.
