How to store MySQL results to a file in table format
I am trying to create a file and store in it the results from my query. I have a batch file that contains the single query, USE database1; SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = "abc" INTO OUTFILE output.txt; QUIT Executing this batch file using, mysql -u root -p -t -vvv < select.sql However, the result is not table formatted and fields' names are missing from the top. 100 abc Brown 32 101 abc Flair 25 102 abc McDonald 45 . . . If I remove the INTO OUTFILE statement and print the results on terminal, then is working OK. +----+------+---------+-----+ | id | name | surname | age | +----+------+-------
