Can you output TEXT from SQL database in a tab delimited ASCI ?

Drupal has caused my web site to get so slow I m going to have to scrap it

If you're using MySQL as the database, then simply use mysqldump to backup the database to a text file.

Jeff P . . . where do I get "mysqldump" and how do you get it to back up the database?
