Question: is there anything I need to be aware of when writing dump files to a local directory for my user, I'm having the following problem.
1. I create a directory in my own home directory (linux, red hat 7.2) ~/dumps and give it 777 permissions 2. I run " /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -uroot -p<<pass>> --tab ~/dumps dbname table1 table2" 3. The .sql file for table1 gets created, correctly, in the dumps directory fine. 4. mysqldump pukes when trying to write the .txt file: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump: Got error: 1: Can't create/write to file '/home/bbernat/dumps/customer_relations_database.txt' (Errcode: 13) when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE' QUESTION: What have I done wrong and how can I fix it?
