Question

How do i do this:

mysql -u myuser -p mydb -e \"select f1,f2 from  mytable\" > /tmp/mydata.txt

But I want to separate the fields with a c

Answer 1

you can use INTO OUTFILE like this :

mysql  -u myuser -p  mydatabase -e 
    "select field1 , field2 FROM mytable INTO OUTFILE 
'/tmp/myfilename.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
 ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' "
