Question

I have a website for school project, written in html,jsp and I use mysql as database for users info.
I have a pretty simple and basic knowledge of mysql and barely of php and everywhere I search they use php for that and I don’t really understand.
I have a database called “a1” and in that a table called “members”. I use ubuntu 10.10 if that matters.

So, how do I import a table in mysql to a XML file?

Iknow it’s a big request but explanations or links to some would be great 🙂

Answer 1

If this is just ‘import to xml’ once, one option is to use mysqldump from the command line.

mysqldump --xml

MysqlDump dumps the contents of the tables to stdout, and can be piped to a file

mysqldump --xml -u user -p a1 members > a1_members.xml
