SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE
I have a quick question about using the SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE command. Whenever I try to export some rows to a text file (e.g. XYZ.csv) that already exists on the destination folder, I get an error message saying "File XYZ.csv already exists". Is there any option in the SELECT .... INTO OUTFILE syntax that allows me to overwrite the file I'm trying to create? I've searched for answers and tried to play around with IGNORE or REPLACE, but could not make it work. Here is a simple example of what I'd like to do: ....

Select Data Into Outfile

Now I ran it directly from my command prompt and saved the file in the current directory (on WinXP, sure the same works for Linux) echo SELECT * from animal | mysql -udavemysql -p***** testdb > mysqloutfile.txt I found I had to name the database i was using or of course got the no db selected error message.

How To Write Query To Select The Max(version) For Each Unique File_name Record?
I am a MySQL newbie trying to write a query that selects file_name records possessing the highest numbered version for that unique file_name. I show sample data and two trial queries below. Logically I want to use max(version) as a constraint in a Where Clause. However, the max() function is not allowed directly in a where clause. I have contemplated a second table to track the max version for each file name. I would like to structure the data in an efficient manner for query performance when the data set grows to many thousands of unique file_name records with many hundreds of versions each........

ERROR 1022 (23000): Can't Write; Duplicate Key In Table On SELECT
I'm using the mysql server that comes with ubuntu-server 8.04 (mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51a, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2) and I have a rather big database (about 5M records). If I try to do this mysql> select count(*),lastname from data group by lastname; all i get is the following error: ERROR 1022 (23000): Can't write; duplicate key in table '' The lastname column is the only one returning this error. (The statement works for firstname, city, street, etc...) Does anybody have an idea as to what's happening here? I've tried searching but could only find this error in relation to database updates and insertions (which would be logical considering the 'duplicate key' part).

Search And Write, Or Write And Recover?
The problem: I need to generate a 'unique string' for each row in a table. I already use auto_increment for system dependencies between tables. What is the best approach one of these or another? After generating a candidate 'unique string' the two strategies that came to mind are: 1. to then search the table's column to see if it is already assigned; locking the table for write while searching and writing the new row, or 2. set the column to UNIQUE when defining the table. Just go ahead and write the new row if you get a "non-unique" exception, generate another 'unique string' and try again. I've tried both on a small XP laptop and get "lock timeout exceptions" rather quickly using #1. But replace those with lots of re-writes when there starts to get "collisions" of 'unique string's.

The query runs but returns a null data set and no file is created. I have tried many variations on the SQL syntax. This version is the only one that will run.

Dynamically Change Outfile Name
I've tried many things, but I just can't seem to solve this... Here's what I want to do: I'm going through some data with a cursor and I want to take each row that the cursor fetches into a separate file. To achieve this, I have to dynamically change the file name, but I can't seem to be able to do it, although I tried several solutions. Here's my code at the moment: CREATE PROCEDURE curdemo() BEGIN DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0; DECLARE inc INT DEFAULT 1; DECLARE a,b TEXT; DECLARE cur1 CURSOR FOR SELECT CONCAT(book_description, book_extended) FROM bookmark; DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = 1; OPEN cur1; REPEAT FETCH cur1 INTO a; IF NOT done THEN SELECT CONCAT('d:/tmp/result', inc, '.txt') INTO b; SELECT a INTO OUTFILE b; SET inc=inc+1; END IF; UNTIL done END REPEAT; CLOSE cur1; END;

Using Variable In OUTFILE Path
I am atmysqlting to create an XML text file for selected records using the following (simplified) code. The SQL statement produces the desired result as long as I leave off the INTO OUTFILE portion.

However when I try to create multiple files by adding a variable filename, I get an error message: Unknown column 'AssemNum' in 'field list' CREATE PROCEDURE WriteFile(In StartID Int, EndID Int) BEGIN Declare Path text default 'C:/mysql/ '; WHILE StartID <= EndID DO Begin set @xsql = concat("select AssemNum, mySQLStatement from AssemData where AssemID = StartID; INTO OUTFILE '",concat(Path,AssemNum,'.xml'),"' LINES TERMINATED BY ' '"); PREPARE stmt from @xsql; EXECUTE stmt; SET StartID = StartID + 1; END; END WHILE; END

Error Code : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY ' '' at line 1 This is being used for a java service to export results to a csv file. I honestly can't see what is wrong with this. I want to use a backslash to escape chars that need escaping and a double quote to enclose fields. Both of those characters for the query need to be escaped i would think.
