将mysql数据导出到主目录ubuntu中的csv文件

Question

I have a table in mysql and now I am trying to export the entire data into a csv file. As per the documentation, a possible way of doing this is with the query:

SELECT id, name, email INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY ‘\\’
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM users WHERE 1

This works perfectly fine, but it creates the file in my tmp directory of the filesystem. I want the file to be in the project directory in my eclipse workspace (I am using java).

So, next, what I tried was copying this file to my destination (using apache commons io) and then deleting the file. But I am not able to delete the file ("java.io.IOException: Unable to delete file:", I am assuming this is because I don't have root access to tmp directory).

Is there any other elegant method of doing what I want...or do I have to use a library like apache POI?

The solution from the following link worked for me.

Use Command-line>mysql -e "SELECT * FROM foo ORDER BY bar" > '/path/to/file'
