由于经常对mysql数据库进行大量的更改操作，比如更改字段，添加或删除索引等等，我们把这些操作放到sql语句中，然后登陆mysql，通过source执行该sql文件，为了做好相关记录，方便以后的工作中进行核对查询，将MySQL中sql运行结果保存到文件，类似Oracle sqlplus中利用spool的功能，方法大致如下，仅供参考：

1、登陆mysql之后
mysql> \T mysql_result.log
Logging to file 'mysql_result.log'
或者
mysql> tee mysql_result.log
Logging to file 'mysql_result.log'

2、[root@tech ~]# mysql --tee=mysql_result.log

3、关闭mysql，然后修改mysql的配置文件中[client]选项段，添加以下内容(tee = /tmp/mysql_result.log)
例如：
[root@tech ~]# vim /usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf
[client]
tee             = /tmp/mysql_result.log

以下是我的操作详细记录：
[root@tech ~]# mysql -V

[root@tech ~]# mysql --help | grep tee

通过以下来关闭mysql的tee功能：
mysql> \t
Outfile disabled.
或者
mysql> notee
Outfile disabled.

针对不同版本的mysql可能有所差异，本次测试用的mysql数据库版本是5.1.45，本人也亲自测试了，5.1.45 和5.1.56都没有问题，有些版本的mysql数据库的tee功能在写入配置文件的时候不生效，但是支持终端下命令行直接操作，例如：4.0.26和5.1.60，目前还不清楚原因何在，猜测也有可能是某些版本存在bug，有知道原因的读者请多赐教，深表感谢！！！
