Re: exporting mysql table into csv file

Yeah that should work unless you use different usernames and passwords
for mysql than unix then you need to use the -u and --password options
there.  Good luck charles.

The -T needs to be followed by the directory name for the output file.

i.e.
 mysqldump -T directory_to_place_output --fields-terminated-by=','
db_name
table_name

that command would create the following two files:

directory_to_place_output/table_name.txt - The text output
directory_to_place_output/table_name.sql - The SQL to create the table

if you want quotes around the fields try this:
mysqldump -T
directory_to_place_output --fields-enclosed-by='"'
--fields-terminated-by=',
' db_name table_name

The above commands seemed to work for me.

I'm dealing with some fairly large tables, so I'd like to just use a
cron'd mysqldump routine to create the .txt file that can be statically
linked to using an ssl encrypted and htaccess protected webpage.

 mysqldump -T --fields-terminated-by=',' db_name table_name

I'm guessing that my -T field is missing some param, but I'm not sure
what. The option name, --tab, doesnt really imply anything to me, but
I'm
new to databases. I'm just using it to shove data pulled via snmp into.

I need a csv file so that I can allow other users to import the data
into
excel or access databases.

thanks -c
