To disable the secure-file-priv variable and enable option to export MySQL data to any location, set the secure-file-priv value to empty string and restart MySQL service:. Of course, a specified location must exist; otherwise, when executing the code, the following message may appear in the Query results grid:. Furthermore, if the exported data is opened in Excel, it will be seen that all data are placed in one column except the last one, which is placed in the second column, and this is very strange:.
As can be seen below, when opening the exported file in Notepad , numeric fields are surrounded with quotation marks:. Now, only one thing is missing in the exported file, and that is column headers. All of this is possible on multiple computing platforms like Windows, Linux, and macOS.
If you click on the advanced button below, you can type the equivalent query whose resultant data and the content will be exported. After clicking on next button you can choose the path where the file needs to be exported and type of format in which you want to export either CSV or JSON and in case of CSV, you can select the options associated with data to be exported and specifying different properties that need to be applied while exporting data such as field separator to be considered and NULL word interpretation, etc as shown below.
After clicking on Next, if the same file with same name and format exists on the specified path it asks that whether you want to overwrite the file or else just mentions the steps that will be followed and executed while exporting as shown below.
After clicking on next you will see a message saying that the file has been exported successfully as shown below. You can observe that the exported file in the desired format will be created in the specified path after running the export process successfully. There is also the provision to export the resultset of any select query that is executed in Workbench by simply clicking on the export button and then specifying the path and name of the file.
Let us look at how we can export the resultset of the query in workbench with the help of an example. Consider the following select query that retrieves the names of all developers that begin with letter R as shown below.
Now, we can click on the export button that turns into opening the files and we can choose the path and name of the file by typing in it as shown below. Simply, click on the save and your file will be exported with the retrieved result set. We can specify the carriage return values, file and line separators, and even the value with which the column value should be enclosed by in both of the above methods.

The accepted answer to this stackoverflow question is probably the best way: stackoverflow. I wrote a feature request on the MariaDB bug tracker jira.

You may need to be root. Yes, it relies both on MySQL privileges and on write privileges to somewhere on the local filesystem. Generally if you omit all the additional parameters you'll get a tab-delimited file where fields aren't enclosed. Add a comment. Stan Stan 8, 2 2 gold badges 26 26 silver badges 30 30 bronze badges.
It's tab-separated, not comma-separated. Once again, though, a regular expression proves write-only. Tim Harding Tim Harding 2, 1 1 gold badge 15 15 silver badges 10 10 bronze badges. I'm surprised at how less-upvoted this solution is. Currently the top solution requires a privilege that many db users don't have and for good reason; it's a security risk for administrators to give it out. Your solution here works without any special privileges, and also could probably be improved to address the shortcomings of commas or tabs, possibly with a substitution in the query itself.
This is a brilliant solution, it worked perfectly. This saved me a couple of times. It is fast and it works! Leland Woodbury Leland Woodbury 4 4 silver badges 3 3 bronze badges. David Oliver David Oliver 2, 23 23 silver badges 33 33 bronze badges. Thanks a million David. I've just found it can save as XML, too, which is great. Well,but each time the workbench limit the select records up to and when it comes to much more records it does not work that well,the same condition for the import it often blocked if I try to import a relatively large csv file into the mysql database by workbench.
I just successfully exported over half a million rows using mysql workbench so large files don't seem to be a problem. You just have to make sure you remove the select limit before running your query and you may also have to increase the following values in your my. Steve Steve 3 3 silver badges 2 2 bronze badges. I really like this one. It is much cleaner, and I like the use of awk. This fails for field values with spaces. You are right, for complex strings in the table you have to use some decent library, not just bash.
I think nodejs has a better solutions for this kind of actions. Hi, good answer, I would add a link to the python solution proposed below stackoverflow. I tried to edit your post but the edit's been rejected — reallynice. Rob Miller's mysql2csv script insists on connecting to the database itself, either via network or socket, and cannot be used as a unix-style pipe.
Maybe that's required but it really limits the use. Output of myslqldump maybe? As I've pointed out, the output of mysql -B can't be fixed. Show 1 more comment. Here's a simple and strong solution in Python:! This could be improved to handle very large files via a streaming approach. Chris Johnson Chris Johnson An even more dependable solution would be to actually connect to the database with Python, then you should have an easier time doing what you need to do to deal with larger datasets chunking results, streaming, etc.
JoshRumbut, really late, but I made stackoverflow.
