mysql have something similar, tee and notee: mysql> use mysql Database changed mysql> tee c:\trash\qwe.txt Logging to file 'c:\trash\qwe.txt' mysql> show tables; +-----------------+ | Tables_in_mysql | +-----------------+ | columns_priv | | db | | host | | tables_priv | | user | +-----------------+ 5 rows in set (0.02 sec) mysql> notee Outfile disabled. mysql> If the file exist, the output will be appended to the existing file. As you can see, the output is also displayed on the screen. This may not be what you want, especially if the output is big... You could use mysql -e "select table_name from user_tables" database > output.txt or mysql database < script.sql > output.txt from the os command line. (You may also need to use -u, -p and/or -h, use the same as when you do a 'normal' start of the mysql client.) -- Roger --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
