Lost connection to MySQL server during query List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/227890 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=f46d042dfd3d35b5ee04c5acf46b --f46d042dfd3d35b5ee04c5acf46b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi-- I'm trying to do the following: SELECT db.emp.emp_fname, db.emp.emp_fname, db.sale.sale_date, db.sale.sale_no, db.sale.sale_total_amt into outfile 'test123.csv' FIELDS terminated by ',' FROM db.emp LEFT OUTER JOIN db.sale ON db.sale.emp_id = db.emp.emp_id; The query without exporting the file works fine, in about 12 sec/77 sec. I read online how to export MySQL queries into csv's, and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I keep getting the error: Error Code: 2013. Lost connection to MySQL server during query, where the duration/fetch values are 600.547 sec (~10 minutes). I'm wondering: a) What is going on? b) How do I fix it? Thanks so much!! --f46d042dfd3d35b5ee04c5acf46b--
