Answer 1

Mysql Shell command

mysqldump -u user -p password -h host Database Table --where="Condition"> /path/exportFile.sql

Example

mysqldump -u user -p 123456 -h host Database Student --where="age > 10"> /path/exportFile.sql

Answer 2

As mentioned in the comments you can use mysqldump the following way.

mysqldump --user=... --password=... --host=... DB_NAME --where=<YOUR CLAUSE> > /path/to/output/file.sql

If you want this to be in your php file you can do the following

exec('mysqldump --user=... --password=... --host=... DB_NAME --where=<YOUR CLAUSE> > /path/to/output/file.sql');

If you have exported data using OUTFILE then you have to import it using INFILE COMMAND

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root","","mydatabase");

$tableName  = 'test';
$backupFile = '/opt/lampp/htdocs/practices/phpTest/test.sql';
$query      = "LOAD DATA INFILE '$backupFile' INTO TABLE $tableName";

$result = mysqli_query($con,$query);

OR you can make csv file using

 $con=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root","","mydatabase");
 $tableName  = 'test';
 $backupFile = '/opt/lampp/htdocs/practices/phpTest/test.sql';
 $query      = 'SELECT * INTO OUTFILE '."'$backupFile'".'
                FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '.'\'"\'
                LINES TERMINATED BY \'\n\'
                FROM '.$tableName.' WHERE id BETWEEN 10 AND 500';

 $result = mysqli_query($con,$query);

and then import this file.

Hope this works...

In very simply way go to your phpMyAdmin select you database whose particular rows you want to export click on "SQL" (To Run SQL query/queries on database) Write sql query and execute it Like select * from test table limit 500 now what ever result come Just at the bottom see "Query results operations" just click on Export

All done :-)
