I am trying to export a dataset of rows into a csv/txt file with a single query as explained here or here, by executing a Laravel PHP script on a WSL environment with no root user.
The issues I found are the same as mentioned in those posts, but I can’t get my mind into solving it.
When first executing a similar SQL query into MySQL like:
SELECT * INTO OUTFILE "/tmp/activities_export.csv" FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," LINES TERMINATED BY "n" FROM posts;
I receive
Error Code: 1. Can’t create/write to file ‘tmpposts.csv’ (Errcode: 2 – No such file or directory)
Whatever the directory is (I’ve tried with plenty of them) except for the MySQL default directory, which I won’t have access to once deployed.
The file exists and is empty, so I guess it’s the same permissions issue, so far I check:
show grantsshowsGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTIONSHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";which returns nullGRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';(As a test) and results are the same, no changes.- I tried executing the PHP script with
rootuser, same results.
Any ideas what is missing or what steps are to be done?
