How can we export some field(s) from MySQL table into a text file?
It can be done by providing the column(s) names in the SELECT … INTO OUTFILE statement while exporting the data from MySQL table into a file. We are illustrating it with the help of the following 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 only two columns ‘id’ and ‘Name’ from the above table to be exported into a file then the following query can export the values of only ‘id’ and ‘name’ from ‘Student_info’ table into a file named ‘student1.txt’ −
mysql> Select id, Name from Student_info INTO OUTFILE 'C:/mysql/bin/mysql-files/student1.txt'; Query OK, 6 rows affected (0.07 sec)
The above query will create a file named ‘Student.txt’ and export the values of columns ‘id’ and ‘name’ from ‘Student_info’ table into it.
