⟩ How To Return Query Output in XML Format?
By default, "mysql" returns query output in text table format. If you want to receive query output in XML format, you need to use the "-X" command option. Here is a good tutorial exercise:
>cd mysqlin
>mysql -u root -X test
mysql> SELECT * FROM links;
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<resultset statement="SELECT * FROM links">
<row>
<field name="id">1</field>
<field name="name">www.GlobalGuideLine.com</field>
</row>
<row>
<field name="id">10</field>
<field name="name">www.GlobalGuideLine.com</field>
</row>
</resultset>
