Hi,

@author – what you mean: ““select into outfile” using a session variable for the filename”

Thanx

Nice idea. Could you publish the aforementioned trigger too?

@Patrick hayes It is specifically written there, that you should use the mysql command line tool..

Great.. I just tested it and confirmed before even approving your comment. And this does bring in more opportunity for us. Thanks

@Patrick hayes
A note about the script detailed above – it will break inside phpmyadmin – but should work everywhere else.

I think there is a much easier way to do this:

Hi,
It’s a cool trick, but you are not really invoking the shell from a trigger. If you want to do that, you can use MySQL Proxy with a trick similar to the one described in this post.
