Re: Problem using SELECT INTO DUMPFILE
Thanks for the reply, but I need a binary transfer of the DATA in the field only. INTO OUTFILE does 2 things that corrupt the data: 1. Puts field data in the file 2. Escapes characters. As far as I can tell, I either have to use INTO DUMPFILE or I need to write a C program to do what I need. Any other suggestions? -Bill Robin Keech wrote: use SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'filename' . -Original Message- From: Bill Moran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 May 2001 00:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem using SELECT INTO DUMPFILE I get an error stating: you have an error in your SQL syntax near 'dumpfile '/data/file.doc'' The command I'm trying to execute is: select resume from apps where appid=23 into dumpfile '/data/file.doc' The server and client are on two different computers.

The MySQL manual says:
SELECT [STRAIGHT_JOIN] [SQL_SMALL_RESULT] [SQL_BIG_RESULT] [SQL_BUFFER_RES\
ULT]
[HIGH_PRIORITY]
[DISTINCT | DISTINCTROW | ALL]
select_expression,...
[INTO {OUTFILE | DUMPFILE} 'file_name' export_options]
[FROM table_references
So try:
SELECT resume INTO DUMPFILE '/data/file.doc' FROM apps WHERE appid=23
In other words, just move the 'INTO DUMPFILE' part where it belongs,
just after the expression, before any 'from' clauses :)
G'luck,

Re: Problem using SELECT INTO DUMPFILE
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, this produces the same error as the
command I tried. (ERROR 1064: near 'dumpfile '/data/test.doc' where
appid=23')
I can do a INTO OUTFILE just fine if I use this syntax:
SELECT resume FROM apps WHERE appid=23 INTO OUTFILE '/data/test.doc';
Using this:
SELECT resume FROM apps INTO OUTFILE '/data/test.doc' WHERE appid=23;
Produces an error 1064
Perhaps this is a documentation goof (although I read the docs to mean
the first form was correct, perhaps it could be clarified)
One way or the other, this doesn't solve my probem ;)
Thanks for the feedback so far.

Of course it would.
Put the 'into dumpfile' part BEFORE the 'from' clause.
And btw, which version of MySQL are you running? The query I listed,
with 'into dumpfile' before the 'from' clause, works fine on MySQL 3.23.37.
It does NOT work on MySQL 3.22.x, because, in the same manual, it is plainly
listed that:
Changes in release 3.23.6
-
* Added `mysqld' option `-O lower_case_table_names={0|1}' to allow
users to force table names to lowercase.
* Added `SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE'.
.
So, MySQL 3.22.x does not have the capability to produce dumpfiles,
only outfiles.
Ah. I just read the whole of your message. You are using a 3.22.32 server -
so, sorry, but you're out of luck :(
G'luck,
Peter

Well, SELECT INTO [OUTFILE | DUMPFILE] is a server-side operation, as (again) clearly outlined in the docs :) * The `SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE 'file_name'' form of `SELECT' writes the selected rows to a file. The file is created on the server host and cannot already exist... So.. yes, you'll have to upgrade the server to use SELECT INTO DUMPFILE.
