使用SQL将数据库导出到.CSV

Question

I am working on a project that requires an admin to be able to export a table from a database to .csv format. However when I try to run the query below in myphpadmin as a test i receive the following message with a big green check mark:

MySQL returned an empty result set (ie zero rows). (Query took 0.0010 sec)

The table has over 60 records. The query i used is below:

 SELECT * FROM `User`
 INTO OUTFILE 'C:\Users\np\Desktop\test.csv'
 FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
 ENCLOSED BY '"'
 LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

Also the file is not created in the location specified.

Thank you in advance :)

1. Change

    INTO OUTFILE 'C:\\Users\\np\\Desktop\\test.csv' 

   to

    INTO OUTFILE 'C:\\\\Users\\\\np\\\\Desktop\\\\test.csv' ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ 

2. Make sure that account under which mysql process is running has enough permissions to write to a destination directory

3. Make sure that you don't already have a file with the same in the target directory. MySql won't replace the file. It only creates file afresh.

Why don't you just use the phpMyAdmin export functionality? Look for the Export tab from with a database or table. There's also a link from any results page (for instance, if you create a custom SQL query).
