Producing XML output


The mysql command-line client has several different output options. One of these is XML.

Getting ready

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;

How to do it...

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to where we saved the isfdb-001.sql file.

  2. 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 --xml isfdb < isfdb-001.sql > isfdb-001.xml
