We can use the conditions in WHERE clause while exporting the data from MySQL table to a file. It can be understood with the help of an example −
Example
Suppose we are having following data from table ‘Student_info’ −
mysql> Select * from Student_info; +------+---------+------------+------------+ | id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+---------+------------+------------+ | 101 | YashPal | Amritsar | History | | 105 | Gaurav | Chandigarh | Literature | | 125 | Raman | Shimla | Computers | | 130 | Ram | Jhansi | Computers | | 132 | Shyam | Chandigarh | Economics | | 133 | Mohan | Delhi | Computers | +------+---------+------------+------------+ 6 rows in set (0.07 sec)
Suppose we want to export the records having a value of id more than 120 then the following query will export such kind of records from ‘Student_info’ table into ‘Stuednt4.CSV’ file −
mysql> Select * from student_info WHERE id > 120 into outfile 'C:/mysql/bin/mysql-files/student4.csv' Fields terminated by ','; Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.16 sec)
The query above will export the following values into Student4.CSV file −
125 Raman Shimla Computers 130 Ram Jhansi Computers 132 Shyam Chandigarh Economics 133 Mohan Delhi Computers
