I guess my question is then why when uskng dbxquery you can't use a commas or spaces for the fields in splunk does it have to be separated by %20 and %2C? Example. |dbxquery %20name%2C%20address%2C%20phone

No it is not required if you are using dbxquery in Splunk UI Search

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/latest/DeployDBX/Commands#Examples

Also if you are using DB Connect 3 you can execute Stored Procedures using dbxquery.
