Hi,
You could always do this within mysql itself. You also have the wrong output
header and what seems to be some quite inefficient code, anyway take a look
at the following.
SELECT order_id,product_name,qty
FROM orders
INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/orders.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
Thanks
Andrew
