 There is no analog to INTO LOCAL OUTFILE.  You can save the output
 of a query executed in mysql to a file, which will give you a tab-delimited
 file.  In some cases, that may be sufficient.

mysql -e "select * from tbl_name" db_name > output

Paul, that works just fine. I note that column names are inserted as the first line. Is there a way to eliminate that? If not, that is just fine.

Yes, use either the --skip-column-names or -N option. Alternatively, use -ss ("double silent"), but's mainly for versions older then 3.22.20 that don't support --skip-column-names/-N.



Thank you very much -tim-
