Taken from an old tutorial I wrote (you can find it on Geocities)
Quote:
Sometimes is useful to send the result of a query to an external file, this can be
easily accomplished in Firebird with the OUT command, a quick example is the
following:
SQL> out c:\firelog.txt;
SQL> select * from country;
SQL> out;
The first command tells Firebird to send output to a file named c:\firelog.txt, after
that a query is executed (no output on screen!!) and then a second OUT command is
issued without parameters in order to stop output redirection.
The resulting file will have a rough formatting, this can be improved (mainly for
readability or data loading purposes) by modifying the original query:
SQL> out c:\firelog.txt;
SQL> select country, ',', currency, ';' from country;
SQL> out;
Leading to a result like:
COUNTRY CURRENCY
=============== ====== ========== ======
USA , Dollar ;
England , Pound ;

Why not? But if you are after moving a table from a firebird server to another I'd look into gbak or nbackup

Well, if you can afford working with the latest Firebird release currently in beta (Fb 2.5 beta1) then you can do this from the central database itself.
Otherwise use external tables on the central database to do the import.
