Hello,
if you want to have a file with just the bare data contents of the table, you simply
do:
mysql> SELECT * FROM table_name INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/lala.txt';
otherwise if you want your data represented in SQL, so that you can reconstruct the
table by importing at a later time (a backup form):
$ mysqldump database_name table_name
and since this gets printed to stdout, you should probably redirect to a file like:
$ mysqldump database_name table_name > table_name.sql.bak
regards,
thalis
