I dont know if this can help, but if you are on unix/linux you can call cat after the dump and easily you can get the output to the stdout
ie: $ mysqldump....tempfile.txt... && cat tempfile.txt

Hi, I'm interested in piping out the contents of a mysql table to stdout in tab-separated value format, but: - using 'select * into outfile' can't write to stdout. - mysqldump --fields-... requires --tab, which requires an output file path. - I also tried mkfifo /tmp/pipe and "select * into outfile '/tmp/pipe'", but mysql complains about the file existing already. Is there any other quick way to do this without having to write a client app? Thanks in advance.
