Hi,

Also discovered that including the 'optionally' keyword, eg:

... optionally enclosed by '"' ...

that MySQL will decide which fields (eg. text, char etc) need enclosing in double quotes and which fields (eg. int, float etc) do not in order to comply with strict CSV format. Depending on your table make-up & size, this too is a great time saver. Mant thanks again for pointing me (and many others) in the right direction.

Reg.

I got the same problem when I connect to a remote database server. The file is created on the remote server.

Anyone know how to get this file created on the local host?

This happens only if you have executed the query twice and redirecting it to same location with same name otherwise rest is fine.

Just like this:

SELECT order_id,product_name,qty
FROM orders
INTO OUTFILE 'c:/tmp/orders.csv'

Just type in the drive you want.

Thanks for the helpful post but my problem is that when i execute the query and go to the location where i saved the file, i can't find any file there. However if i again try the same command it says "File already exists" but actually there is not. Wha'ts wrong?
