MySQL ERROR 1290 (HY000) --secure-file-priv option

Question

I am trying to write the results of MySQL script to a text file using the following code in my script.

SELECT p.title, p.content, c.name FROM post p
LEFT JOI         


        

Answer 1

Just create a file /etc/my.cnf with the following content

[mysqld]
secure_file_priv            = ''

You can use this oneliner:

echo "[mysqld]\nsecure_file_priv\t\t= ''\n" | sudo tee /etc/my.cnf

And then restart mysql. If brew was used to install the mysql run the following command:

brew services restart mysql
