ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement

Answer 1

Use the below command to check the path

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";
+------------------+-----------------------+
| Variable_name    | Value                 |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| secure_file_priv | /var/lib/mysql-files/ |
+------------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)

then export to this path like

select * from TABLE where age > '30'   INTO OUTFILE '/var/lib/mysql-files/age.csv';
