How to export a single table from phpmyadmin to a comma delimited text file?

Question

I need to export a table from phpmyadmin to a comma delimited text file. I think there is a code but can't seem to find it. I found one but it doesnt work.

I need to export this table because I need to organize it and sort it and add another column so I can add data to this column.

How can I do this please?

Solution 1

In PHPAdmin, if I recall correctly, there is an Export tab. If you click on that, you can select the table(s) you want to export and which format you would like to export the data in. CSV, .zip, .gzip, etc...

Solution 2

Execute this statement:

SELECT * FROM `table_name`
 INTO OUTFILE 'directory' ->e.g /tmp/myTable.csv(Linux) or C:\myTable.csv(Windows)
 FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
 ENCLOSED BY '"'
 LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

Solution 3

Select the database and click the 'Export' tab. Select the table to export. Use CSV as the format.

Solution 4

As mention before you have a export tab for do things things. But if you want to export a tricky question or a very special ordering you can do as following:

Go to View or write your SQL question
In the bottom of the view-page you will have a Export link. 
If you click on that you will now export the question (and its order) 
in any format you chose
