You could write a bash script like this: #!/bin/bash
mysql -u username -ppassword --exec="SELECT...;" > textfile.txt There's no space after -p and before the password. This will export the results to a simple text file. It might not be in format you want though. But, it gives you an idea of how to pull this off.
