That has a good 9 paragraphs on the 'INTO OUTFILE' part of the SELECT statement. It also refers you to...
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/load-data.html
Which has some more info you might find useful.

So here it goes again:
I searched the online manual and all I could find was a reference to a statement of the form:
SELECT INTO OUTFILE...
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/ansi-diff-select-into-table.html
I searched for this statement on the web and I found several references to a statement that should look like this:
select * into outfile 'C:/MyOutfile.txt' fields terminated by ',' lines terimated by '|' from myTable
This statement generates a syntax error on MySQL 4.1.9. The following variation also generates a syntax error:
select * from table into outfile 'C:/MyOutfile.txt' fields terminated by ',' lines terimated by '|' from myTable
Why is this statement rejected? Why is it not documented anywhere in the manual except for a passing reference?
And if there's no such a statement, how come there are many references to it on the web that date back to MySQL versions older than 4.1.9?
Finally, if this statement has been depricated/removed from 4.1.9, is there any way to export a table to a CSV file?
Thanks,
Homam
