Mark,
Sql is an alias to mysq -u.
What about something like :
declare -a TEAMS=(`echo "query"|sql|sed 's/$/",/g'|sed 's/^/"/g'|sed
's/"$//'`)
since the query returns the results 1 per line, the first sed prefixes
each line with a quote
second sed replaces the newline with quot
one answer to your question as asked would be to wrap the column in a
concat() function and put the double quotes around each row.
the better answer is to use PERL
Oops - I forgot my version of mysql - 4.0.22 running on Red Hat Linux 7.3
2.96-113 kernel 2.4.20-30.7.
