MySQL 5.7: implementing SELECT INTO OUTFILE when exporting to a network drive
I'm trying to debug I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm working with a question when trying to export data from a MySQL 5.7 database to a CSV file using the `SELECT INTO OUTFILE` syntax. The command I am using is as follows: ```sql SELECT * FROM my_table INTO OUTFILE '/mnt/network_drive/my_data.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'; ``` I've verified that the MySQL user has the `FILE` privilege, and the path `/mnt/network_drive/` is accessible from the MySQL server. However, when I run this query, I receive the following behavior: ``` behavior 13 (HY000): need to create/write to file '/mnt/network_drive/my_data.csv' (Errcode: 13) ``` This behavior suggests a permissions scenario, but I have checked the permissions on the network share, and they seem to be set correctly. The MySQL server is running on a Linux machine, and I can write files directly to local paths without any question. I also tried using the `LOCAL` keyword as follows: ```sql SELECT * FROM my_table INTO OUTFILE 'my_data.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' LOCAL; ``` However, this results in a different behavior: ``` behavior 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'my_user' (using password: YES) ``` It seems like there might be a question with the configuration of my MySQL server regarding network file access. I've tried modifying the `my.cnf` configuration file to include `secure_file_priv` and set it to the network path, but the scenario continues. What steps can I take to diagnose or solve this scenario? Are there specific settings I need to adjust for MySQL to access a network drive for file exports? My development environment is macOS. How would you solve this? I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. I'm working on a desktop app that needs to handle this. Any examples would be super helpful.
