This code is returning the following error:

julia> airline_array = readdlm("/Users/jalemrajrohit/Desktop/Work/Book/LinkedIn contacts.csv", ",")
ERROR: MethodError: `readdlm` has no method matching readdlm(::ASCIIString, ::ASCIIString)
Closest candidates are:
  readdlm(::Any)
  readdlm(::Any, ::Type{T})
  readdlm(::Any, ::Char)
  ...

It happens while creating the SQLite DB's too. Any idea how do I deal with them?

Pass in a character type (single quote), not a string type (double quotes) for the second arg

julia> typeof(',')
Char
julia> typeof(",")
ASCIIString (constructor with 2 methods)
