I'm trying to write some queries to export MySQL information to a file,
and I'm a bit of a newbie.  I'm querying the database for fieldnames,
and then field data.  then I want to write the data to a file in a sort
of key:value format:

[fieldname]:[field data]

for example...

SKUID:AF332
NAME:Jesus Poster
PRICE:12.95
(etc...)

I have the fieldnames in an array called @fieldlist...

-------
$describe_products = "describe $products";

# execute the describe query
$sth = $dbh->prepare("$describe_products"); 
$sth->execute();

# get the fieldnames and push them into an array
while (@fields = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
            my $field = $fields[0];
            push(@fieldlist,$field);
}
--------

and I guess I can do a second query to select the data, but I am stuck
at how to write them out in sort of key-value pairs.  and i'm not even
sure this is the most efficient way.

any help appreciated!

thanks,

rory
