    <p>I'm not sure what's going on here with the line art output by /usr/bin/mysql here. </p> <p><strong>The problem:</strong> I'm unable to redirect the line art (used in creating the table columns) to a file!</p> <p>First, I do this on my terminal.</p> <pre><code>[sd@host:~/tmp] $ mysql -usd sd -e 'select * from loan;' +---------+--------------+--------+ | loan_no | branch_name | amount | +---------+--------------+--------+ | L-11 | Round Hill | 900 | | L-14 | Downtown | 1500 | | L-15 | Perryridge | 1500 | | L-16 | Perryridge | 1300 | | L-17 | Downtown | 1000 | | L-23 | Redwood | 2000 | | L-93 | Mianus | 500 | +---------+--------------+--------+ </code></pre> <p>Now, I want this whole blessed thing printed above captured, so I redirect stdout and stderr to the file 'out', like so:</p> <pre><code>[sd@host:~/tmp] $ mysql -usd sd -e 'select * from loan;' &gt;out 2&gt;&amp;1 </code></pre> <p>As you can see below, the line art is completely missing! </p> <pre><code>[sd@host:~/tmp] $ cat out loan_no branch_name amount L-11 Round Hill 900 L-14 Downtown 1500 L-15 Perryridge 1500 L-16 Perryridge 1300 L-17 Downtown 1000 L-23 Redwood 2000 L-93 Mianus 500 </code></pre> <p>More proof that the line art is REALLY missing! (The -T option prints tabs, if any.)</p> <pre><code>[sd@host:~/tmp] $ cat -T out loan_no^Ibranch_name^Iamount L-11^IRound Hill^I900 L-14^IDowntown^I1500 L-15^IPerryridge^I1500 L-16^IPerryridge^I1300 L-17^IDowntown^I1000 L-23^IRedwood^I2000 L-93^IMianus^I500 </code></pre> <p>So, <strong>my question is</strong>, how the heck does mysql know <strong>who</strong> -- whether a terminal or a text file -- <strong>is sucking its output from 'its rear end'</strong> :-) ?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
