write results of sql query to a file in mysql

Question

I\'m trying to write the results of a query to a file using mysql. I\'ve seen some information on the outfile construct in a few places but it seems that this only writes the fi

Answer 1

You could try executing the query from the your local cli and redirect the output to a local file destination;

mysql -user -pass -e"select cols from table where cols not null" > /tmp/output
