OK, apparently I am going to have to re-write most of the script now because of your suggestion. This is a good thing though because I was able to get the MySQL data into a nicely formatted, comma-delimited csv file.

This is the select statement I used, if anyone is wondering:

SELECT Employee.username, Employee.first_name, Employee.last_name, Dep +artment.name, LocationBuilding.name, PhoneNumbers.phone_id, PhoneNumb +ers.fax_flag, PhoneNumbers.exchange, P.position, OrgChart.supervisor_ +id FROM P INNER JOIN OrgChart ON(P.employee_id=OrgChart.employee_id) +INNER JOIN Employee ON(OrgChart.employee_id=Employee.employee_id) INN +ER JOIN PhoneNumbers ON(Employee.employee_id=PhoneNumbers.employee_id +) INNER JOIN Department ON(OrgChart.department_id=Department.departme +nt_id) INNER JOIN LocationBuilding ON(Department.building_id=Location +Building.building_id) INNER JOIN Location ON(LocationBuilding.buildin +g_id=Location.building_id) INNER JOIN LocationRooms ON(Location.room_ +id=LocationRooms.room_id);" | sed 's/\t/","/g;s/^/"/;s/$/"/;s/\n//g' +> Employee.csv

Thanks!
