let’s say your mysql user doesn’t have write access to your machine and using the INTO OUTFILE syntax is throwing errors:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user

you can get around these problems by submitting your mysql query  directly from the command line and  piping the output to a text file like so:

>> echo “SELECT foo FROM bar” | mysql -h sql.server -uUserName -pPassword Database > foo.bar

    Hi All,

    How do i print the output of “mysql” command to the output.txt file??

    for ex:
    if this is the command :
    mysql -h localhost -u root -proot <
    "D:\ARC_SPA\ADMIN_DB\ARC_ADMIN_DEMO.sql"

    if the backup file is corrupted, it will give the error as below in the
    command prompt itself :
    ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 27: You have an error in your SQL syntax;
    check the
    anual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax
    to use
    near 'hhhgh
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `admin_action_icon`' at line 1

    The same (error statements)if i wants to put it in some text file, how do i do that?? please
    can someone help me in this??

    Thanks,
    shweta
