SELECT ‘Date:’, DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),’%a %d %b %Y %r’) into OUTFILE ‘E:\\SUBCON\\EDWHFiles\\Threshold\\time.txt’

sorry the query is like this, not as the above.

Hi, I’ve tried
“SELECT ‘Date:’, NOW() into OUTFILE ‘E:\\SUBCON\\EDWHFiles\\Threshold\\time.txt’”
but I’m getting this value “Date: Wed\ 30\ Nov\ 2011\ 04:59:36\ PM”.
why is this happening????
Can anyone explain and correct me??
Thanks.

Thanks, David. This is a great resource! Say, any idea how one might format AND order by date? I’m getting very unexpected results.
