Im new in bash scripting.
I want to save sql-query outputs in variable, but
actually I must connect for every query to mysql with:
mysql -u $MYUSER -p$MYPASS -D database
and want to save every output in seperatly variable
sample query is: SELECT domain FROM domains WHERE user='$USER'
to
$variable1 = FIRST_OUTPUT
$variable2 = 2ND_OUTPUT
thank you
Taken from bash script - select from database into variable, you can read the query result into a variable.
Example
mysql> SELECT * FROM domains;
+-------+---------+
| user | domain |
+-------+---------+
| user1 | domain1 |
| user2 | domain2 |
| user3 | domain3 |
+-------+---------+
Usage
$ myvar=$(mysql -D$MYDB -u$MYUSER -p$MYPASS -se "SELECT domain FROM domains")
$ echo $myvar
domain1 domain2 domain3
echo
is the bash command for output. You can then split $myvar
into separate variables:
$ read var1 var2 var3 <<< $myvar
$ echo $var1
domain1
$ echo $var2
domain2
You can combine these two commands into a single one:
read var1 var2 var3 <<< $(mysql -D$MYDB -u$MYUSER -p$MYPASS -se "SELECT domain FROM domains")
It is possible to store the results into arrays (useful if you don't know how many records there):
$ read -ra vars <<< $(mysql -D$MYDB -u$MYUSER -p$MYPASS -se "SELECT domain FROM domains")
$ for i in "${vars[@]}"; do
$ echo $i
$ done
domain1
domain2
domain3
Another way of doing is:
dbquery=`mysql -D$MYDB -u$MYUSER -p$MYPASS -se "SELECT domain FROM domains"`
dbquery_array=( $( for i in $dbquery ; do echo $i ; done ) )
The first line stores all the output from the query in a varriable dbquery
in a array-like-way. The second line converts the dbquery
into an array dbquery_array
with a simple for
loop.
I did this
variable=mysql -u root -ppassworrd database << EOF
select MAX(variable) AS a from table where variable2 = 'SOMETEXT' AND day(datevalue) >= 22;
EOF
I hope it helps
