SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html), but that doesn't dump the entire database. From the commandline (i.e. it's not an SQL statement) you can use mysqldump: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqldump.html Kind regards, Martijn -- The information contained in this communication and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged, and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
