write results of sql query to a file in mysql

Question

I\'m trying to write the results of a query to a file using mysql. I\'ve seen some information on the outfile construct in a few places but it seems that this only writes the fi

Answer 1

You could try this, if you want to write MySQL query result in a file.

This example write the MySQL query result into a csv file with comma separated format

SELECT id,name,email FROM customers
INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/customers.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
