Want simple? Look at the SELECT INTO OUTFILE syntax. This will give you
a tab delimited file that you can then open in Excel. Quick it is,
pretty it isn't.



- alternatively, from the command line run a SQL script containing SELECT CONCAT_WS(',', ...column names...) etc., and pipe the output into a .csv file. Excel will happily import the data. There'll be no column headings, though.
