To have the mysql client write a protocol, start it, and then do: mysql> tee myoutfile.txt Logging to file 'myoutfile.txt' mysql> tee Currently logging to file 'myoutfile.txt' mysql> notee Outfile disabled. Use a path for "myoutfile.txt" (or however you name it) if you don't want the file to be written in the directory you started mysql from. tee will append to your outfile, creating it if necessary. If it's there, tee will not overwrite its content. tee does not work in batch mode, and you cannot use it together with mysqlc.exe (for Win95/98).
