Is there a way to write the results of a query to an output file on a
client computer instead of the server? My reference book says MySQL
cannot write to a file on the client.

I have a work around by using a PHP script on the user's machine that
does a MySQL query, formats the results, and writes them to a file but
that seems a little clunky.

Does MySQL not allow the LOCAL option for security reasons? You can
run the query from a command line and redirect the output, it's just
not nicely formatted.

Thanks in advance,

Tim
