Question deleting file created from mysql
Hi,
I executed the query in mysql as
"select * into outfile "/tmp/result.out" from table_x;

which inturn wrote all the records in that table to file in /tmp directory.After this i tried to delete the file "/tmp/result.out", but can't able to do that.
Is there any way to achieve this.Please suggest

Your help is appreciated

Regards
Dileep

What is the error message when have tried to delete the file ? What is the OS and you root ? Most probably you don't have rights to delete the file, do a 'ls -la' on the file and check the permissions.

Hi,

The file created with the permissions as
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mysql mysql 432 2008-07-28 14:36 result.out

I know that it is not possible to delete the file from my login, but from mysql it is supposed to delete it, right.

I tried the below command from mysql, that too failed with the error message

mysql> system rm /tmp/result.out
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/result.out': Operation not permitted

I am looking out for something like the UTL_FILE package in Oracle which have the capability to create,rename,delete operations on the files it creates...Can anyone suggest

With Regards
