MariaDB Cookbook
By :

The mysql
command-line client has several different output options. One of these is HTML.
Import the ISFDB
database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe in this chapter. Create a file called isfdb-001.sql
using the following command line:
SELECT * FROM authors LIMIT 100;
We could put whatever commands we want in this file, or give it a different name, but this works for the purposes of this recipe.
Open a terminal and navigate to where we saved the isfdb-001.sql
file.
Issue the following command on the command line (not from within the mysql
command-line client, but by calling the client with some special options):
mysql --html isfdb < isfdb-001.sql > isfdb-001.html
Execute either a dir
or ls
command and we'll see that now there is a file named isfdb-001.html
in the directory.
We can now either open the newly created isfdb-001.html
file in our favorite text editor, or view it in a web browser, such as Firefox...
