[rt-users] Perl script to dump mysql db transactions?

[Jay Christopherson]

Try:

select * from Transactions where Created > 'DATE' AND Create < 'DATE';

Where DATE represents some timeperiod of transactions that you want 
returned.

Plug that into your perl script and you can do whatever you want with the 
data returned...
