Hi and thx to all who answered :) Okay, finally found my mistake with ur help. One can add the needed options within the "select" statement, not within the "mysql -e" statement as i tried.
Working solution is now: ./mysql --skip-column-names -e "select ek_satzart,[...] into outfile 'File' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' from table" dbname --password=xxxx Thx all for help, Bernd -- One OS to rule them all, one OS to find them.
