mySQL & sh script

Hopefully a simple question...

How do you get a SQL result into a variable using only shell script? I know how to create one and execute it using variables, but I need to make a SQL call and get the result into a variable.

Help??

If you're just getting one field, this will work:

Code:

VAR=`echo "SELECT field FROM table WHERE id = '3';" | mysql -u user -ppassword  db_name | tail -1`

I posted an answer to this question in the MySQL forum.
