Question

I wrote a PHP script to list all the tables present in the database using a query

$query = “SHOW TABLES FROM $dbName”;

Now, i wanted to know what sql query can be use to list the “contents” of all the tables from the database simultaneously to display it and then store it in a file.

Thanks ahead of time..

You can use mysqldump to dump all the data in the database. Else you can run for look on all the table names and then use select * from x; to get all the data from the table name x which you retrieved earlier.
