To enable data files to be written using a different format,
•
--fields-terminated-by=str
The string for separating column values (default: tab).
•
--fields-enclosed-by=char
The character within which to enclose column values (default: no character).
•
--fields-optionally-enclosed-by=char
The character within which to enclose non-numeric column values (default: no character).
•
--fields-escaped-by=char
The character for escaping special characters (default: no escaping).
•
--lines-terminated-by=str
The line-termination string (default: newline).
Depending on the value you specify for any of these options, it might be necessary on the command
line to quote or escape the value appropriately for your command interpreter. Alternatively, specify the
value using hex notation. Suppose that you want
quotation marks. To do so, specify double quote as the value for the
option. But this character is often special to command interpreters and must be treated specially. For
example, on Unix, you can quote the double quote like this:
--fields-enclosed-by='"'
On any platform, you can specify the value in hex:
--fields-enclosed-by=0x22
It is common to use several of the data-formatting options together. For example, to dump tables in
comma-separated values format with lines terminated by carriage-return/newline pairs (\r\n), use this
command (enter it on a single line):
shell> mysqldump --tab=/tmp --fields-terminated-by=,
--fields-enclosed-by='"' --lines-terminated-by=0x0d0a db1
Should you use any of the data-formatting options to dump table data, you will need to specify the
same format when you reload data files later, to ensure proper interpretation of the file contents.
