Can't create/write to file (Errcode: 22)

Question

Quite new with SQL I\'m looking to export some data from a MySQL database into a csv file. I\'m working locally (localhost).

Here is my SQL statement:

Answer 1

It looks like the back-slashes may be affecting the command. Try using '\\' instead of '\'.

Answer 2

SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE condition INTO OUTFILE 'E:/test/filename.csv';

You are having issue with the back slash. Using forward slash resolved the issue in windows machine. But in Ubuntu its not working.

Then I tried with the below mentioned Query and it works:

SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE condition INTO OUTFILE '//tmp/test/filename.csv';

Here the double slash when starting the path is necessary.
