To import a local CSV file into MySQL, use the syntax below :

LOAD DATA LOW_PRIORITY LOCAL INFILE '/path/tofile.csv'
INTO TABLE database.table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 LINES
(`field1`,`field2`,...)

To export a mysql results in CSV format, use the syntax below :

SELECT field1, field2, ...
FROM table
WHERE condition
INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/toto.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' ;
