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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
