I have query that I export into a file using the "outfile" syntax. I can
use the following lines of code to create a delimited file but I want to
know if I can create a fixed length file? Any ideas?
delimited file:
Select GivenName, Surname, Address, City, State, ZipCode
into outfile 'xx.csv' fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\r\n'
from kbm
where zipcode = '12345'
TIA

I figured out a way...but it's not perfect because I have to define the
length...is there a way so that I don't have to use rpad()?
Use rpad().
Select rpad(GivenName, 15,' '), rpad(Surname,15 ,' '), rpad(Address,25 ,' ')
into outfile 'xx.csv' fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\r\n'
from kbm
where zipcode = '12345'

Now I got it...if I just use "fields terminated by ''" it works just fine.
That was easy....

I wan to use a variable for the outfile file name in a select into clause. I am
doing something like:
set @fileName="/tmp/result.text"
SELECT col1, col2 INTO OUTFILE @fileName
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
FROM test_table;
the interpreter dies at the @fileName...
if I exchange @filename with "/tmp/result.text" it runs fine.

Is there a way to have the field descriptions put into an outfile?
When I do a Select * from data, the display shows the field names,
however when I do the select * into outfile /tmp/test.txt the field names
are not in the file.
Thanks for the help

PS: It should repopulate the 2nd combo based upon the value of the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
