Hi guys,
I wonder how to store to csv or txt file result from SELECT query?
not a whole table nor database. Just results from SELECT query.
Usually I use MySQL Query Browser and Export feature, but in this
case I don't have access with MySQL Query Browser. Though, I have a
command line access.
I found on one place something like
#SELECT 2+2 into outfile '/path/to/specific/directory/test.csv';
Though, it doesn't work?!?

Thanks.

select into outfile is the correct way. What do you mean by doesn't
work? Does it give you an error?

The technique I've settled on is this:

mysql blah blah blah < the_select_query.sql > the_output_i_want.txt

That gives you a tab-delimited text file with column headings.

I second Jerry's recommendation. It always works like a charm for me.

maybe it's "clear" to other but it's pretty unclear.
#mysql -username -p "select * from table_name where id=123" >
'/home/me/test/test.txt'
actually doesn't work?!?

[JS] The command you wrote doesn't redirect the input of the client. It should
read

#mysql -username -pxxx dbname < /home/me/testing/text.sql >
/home/me/testing/text.txt

By the way, it is a bad idea to use "test" as a file or directory name. It is
very easy to accidentally invoke the "test" command, which can really make you
scratch your head.

[JS] Thanks.

By the way, if your SELECT is easy to type you can use the -e parameter on the
MySQL command line.
