Exporting sql data from mysql server into csv file in local mac computer Help, - mysql

when I attempt to take the data I have from my mysql server and generate a csv file with this command:
select * from table into outfile '/Users/username/Desktop/testfile.csv' fields terminated by ',' enclosed by '"' lines terminated by '/n';
I end up with the error:
ERROR 1 (HY000): Can't create/write to file '/Users/username/Desktop/testfile.csv' (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)
Another weird problem is I can't seem to stop the server from running through the preference pane, maybe they are related. Anyways, thanks for the help!


Try this:
SELECT * FROM table INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/myfile.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"';
Then in you terminal, cd to the tmp directory, do ls to see if the file is there and when you are in that tmp directory, just do open myfile.csv

MySQL export to file

I have a node js project with folder output. This folder has 777 permissions. I query SELECT INTO OUTFILE via node-mysql.
But I have Errcode: 13 - Permission denied error.
MySQL started with secure_file_priv=""
SQL:
SELECT * FROM users INTO OUTFILE '/home/ubuntu/Projects/output/1.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

ERROR 13 (HY000): Can't get stat of '/tmp/file1.csv' (Errcode: 2) while trying to import CSV file into MariaDB

I am trying to import CSV file into MariaDB (version: 5.5.50-MariaDB MariaDB Server), using this command:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'file1.csv'
INTO TABLE table_name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES (#dummy,col1, col2,col3,#dummy)
SET col4 = "xyz";
I am getting error as:
ERROR 13 (HY000): Can't get stat of '/var/lib/mysql/db_name/file1.csv' (Errcode: 2)
I also tried using LOCAL keyword as per some suggestions on stackoverflow and google search in the above query like:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'file1.csv'
INTO TABLE table_name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES (#dummy,col1, col2,col3,#dummy)
SET col4 = "xyz";
in that case, I get a file not found error:
ERROR 2 (HY000): File 'file1.csv' not found (Errcode: 2)
I have tried moving my source file to /tmp, /root and /var/lib/mysql/db_name directories but am not able to import using any of the above queries.
Could anyone please suggest a solution?
Thanks in advance.

The file needs to be either owned by "mysql", or readable by by "mysql". Do ls -l file1.csv if you need further interpretation.
Also, check the value of local_infile.

Error Code: 1290. The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement

I encountered such a problem: Error Code: 1290. The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement
when I tried to execute MySQL statement (Windows):
SELECT *
FROM xxxx
WHERE XXX
INTO OUTFILE 'report.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#'
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
When I execute it without:
INTO OUTFILE 'report.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#'
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
Then it works. Also, the same statement with INTO OUTFILE xxx actually worked before I reinstalled the MySQL server.
Anybody has ideas how to deal with this error?

A quick answer, that doesn't require you to edit any configuration files (and works on other operating systems as well as Windows), is to just find the directory that you are allowed to save to using:
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";
+------------------+-----------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| secure_file_priv | /var/lib/mysql-files/ |
+------------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.06 sec)
And then make sure you use that directory in your SELECT statement's INTO OUTFILE clause:
SELECT *
FROM xxxx
WHERE XXX
INTO OUTFILE '/var/lib/mysql-files/report.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#'
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
Original answer
I've had the same problem since upgrading from MySQL 5.6.25 to 5.6.26.
In my case (on Windows), looking at the MySQL56 Windows service shows me that the options/settings file that is being used when the service starts is C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini
On linux the two most common locations are /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf.
Opening this file I can see that the secure-file-priv option has been added under the [mysqld] group in this new version of MySQL Server with a default value:
secure-file-priv="C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.6/Uploads"
You could comment this (if you're in a non-production environment), or experiment with changing the setting (recently I had to set secure-file-priv = "" in order to disable the default). Don't forget to restart the service after making changes.
Alternatively, you could try saving your output into the permitted folder (the location may vary depending on your installation):
SELECT *
FROM xxxx
WHERE XXX
INTO OUTFILE 'C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.6/Uploads/report.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#'
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
It's more common to have comma seperate values using FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','. See below for an example (also showing a Linux path):
SELECT *
FROM table
INTO OUTFILE '/var/lib/mysql-files/report.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY ''
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

If you changed my.ini and restarted mysql and you still get this error please check your file path and replace "\" to "/".
I solved my proplem after replacing.

I had to set
C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0/my.ini secure-file-priv=""
When I commented line with secure-file-priv, secure-file-priv was null and I couldn't download data.

Error Code: 1290. The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement
TL;DR
Specify the secure-file-priv folder with double back slash
and also explicitly specify the output file with double back slashes
and the OPs original issue is solved.
The detail
The longer answer is as follows -
On Windows 11 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor, build 22621.963, Version 22H2 with MySQL installed using the web installer .MSI file as a developer configuration.
SELECT VERSION(); gives '8.0.31'
Help > About Workbench gives Version 8.0.31 build 2235049 CE 64 bits
The defaults file on Windows 11 is called "my.ini" and is in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0
C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder.
The default specification in my.ini is secure-file-priv="C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/Uploads"
execute SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";
copy and paste the row gives 'secure_file_priv', 'C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 8.0\\Uploads\\'
which renders as 'C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Uploads\' in Workbench
Note the backslash, forward slash and double back slash syntax of these folder specifications
execute the OP's code
SELECT * FROM shippers INTO OUTFILE 'report.csv'
gives error 1290
execute the OP's code
SELECT * FROM shippers INTO OUTFILE 'report.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
gives error 1290
next change my.ini to secure-file-priv="" and restart MySQL using Open Services > Stop Service MySQL80 > then Start Service MySQL80 then close and reopen Workbench.
secure-file-priv is now switched off
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";
Variable_name, Value
'secure_file_priv', ''
execute the OP's code
SELECT * FROM shippers INTO OUTFILE 'report.csv'
The file report.csv is generated in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data\northwind
northwind is the database name
The output file is tab separated, Excel does not recognise this as a .CSV file and renders it as a single column
"1 Speedy Express (503) 555-9831"
"2 United Package (503) 555-3199"
"3 Federal Shipping (503) 555-9931"
"1 Speedy Express (503) 555-9831"
"2 United Package (503) 555-3199"
"3 Federal Shipping (503) 555-9931"
execute the OP's code
SELECT * FROM shippers INTO OUTFILE 'report.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
file report.csv is generated in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data\northwind
The output file is as specified in the SQL code with text fields enclosed by quotes and separated by # -
1#"Speedy Express"#"(503) 555-9831"
2#"United Package"#"(503) 555-3199"
3#"Federal Shipping"#"(503) 555-9931"
1#"Speedy Express"#"(503) 555-9831"
2#"United Package"#"(503) 555-3199"
3#"Federal Shipping"#"(503) 555-9931"
Next set secure_file_priv="C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 8.0\\Uploads\\" in my.ini and restart MySQL and Workbench
execute the OP's code
SELECT * FROM shippers INTO OUTFILE 'report.csv'
Error 1290 because "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data\northwind" is not the secure file output folder.
execute the following code
SELECT * FROM shippers INTO OUTFILE "C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 8.0\\Uploads\\report.csv"
file report.csv is generated in "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Uploads"

The code above exports data without the heading columns which is weird.
Here's how to do it. You have to merge the two files later though using text a editor.
SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_schema = 'my_app_db' AND table_name = 'customers' INTO OUTFILE 'C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.6/Uploads/customers_heading_cols.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY ',';

MySQL: INTO OUTFILE csv in /home/* folder (Errcode:13)

I want to export an CSV into /home/test/log/a/logfile.csv.
Actually I am using
SELECT activity, timestamp FROM logging WHERE user = 'a' INTO OUTFILE '/home/test/log/a/logfile.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
Now I get
Can't create/write to file '/home/test/log/a/logfile.csv' (Errcode: 13)
I already tried putting
/home/test/ r,
/home/test/** rwk,
AND
/home/test/log/a/ rwk,
into the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld and give /home/test/log/a rwx for others, but nothing worked. Any suggestions?

Error when trying to export table to a csv file (errcode: 2)

I'm trying to export my table to a .csv file. The query (mysql) is:
SELECT *
FROM TEMP_FINAL
INTO OUTFILE '/home/test/TEMP_FINAL.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
I get the following error:
"Can't create/write to file '/home/test/TEMP_FINAL.csv' (Errcode: 2)
The directory "test" has permission to write and I`m using Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.
What is wrong and how to fix it?

The mysql program does not have access to a user's directory. Change the outfile to somewhere like /tmp/ and move the file later.
