Hi,

I want to print the list of tables (one on a line) from a database into an external file.
I have tried:

mysql -u user -p database -e 'show tables;' > file.txt

mysql -u root -p information_schema -e 'select table_name from tables where table_schema="database_name";' > file.txt

But the result was the help file displayed by MySQL when a command is not correct. The SQL queries I gave are correct, because they work when I give them at the mysql prompt. The list of tables is big, and it doesn't fit into a screen and that's why I need to print it into a file.

Please tell me how can I do this if it possible.

Thank you.

Octavian
