It's the mysqld server that is writing the .csv file. This means that the path is related to the mysql data directory and not to where your .sql file is. When using select into outfile it's always best to give a full path! Fred> Additionally, when I try to identify a different path, such as 'C:\\' etc, Fred> I get an error.

The reason that your connection is lost are ether: - There is timeout in the client you are using (The server never gives a timeout for running queries). - The mysqld server died (not likely but possible). - Some process in your system is killing quries that runs too long. One way to quickly check that things are working are by adding LIMIT 1 to the query.

Which client are you using to do the query? It's strange that the query works fine when you are not using select into outfile.
