Maybe, if you make a file with the SELECT content and call them from the OS shell, like this:
<example of the content of the my_file> SELECT table1.a, tabela1.b, table1.c FROM mydatabase.table; After, call this file from the OS shell: shell>mysql -A mydatabase < my_file This will result on the screen. You can direct the result to a file: shell>mysql -A mydatabase < my_file > my_table.sql If you need the tabs, do with -t on the options: shell>mysql -A -t mydatabase < my_file > my_table.sql -----Original Message----- From: Ariel Sánchez Mora [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 5:12 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: 'Into outfile' doesn't include the column names. How can it be done? When using select into outfile, I can only get the table data, but I can't find how to include the column names. I haven't been able to include the column names into the actual return of the query, and they don't get stored in the .csv Anyone know how to include the column names, table name, other info, as an actual answer from MySQL? I realize that when I use the command line I can see the column names, but this is not the case when using, for example, Delphi, and my real problem, when the outfile is made. I use SQLyog for exporting to csv and they do include the columns, my bet is its some SQL option. The manual doesn't specify, at least in the select syntax part.
