Hello Rama Krishna,
Check this code:
Example below exports data from MySQL Select query to CSV file.
testtable structure
CREATE TABLE testtable
(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
text varchar(45) NOT NULL,
price integer not null);
Application takes path of output file as an argument.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class automateExport {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DBase db = new DBase();
        Connection conn = db.connect(
                "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root","caspian");
        if (args.length != 1) {
            System.out.println(
                    "Usage: java automateExport [outputfile path] ");
            return;
        db.exportData(conn,args[0]);
class DBase {
    public DBase() {
    public Connection connect(String db_connect_str,
            String db_userid, String db_password) {
        Connection conn;
        try {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(db_connect_str,
                    db_userid, db_password);
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            conn = null;
        return conn;
    public void exportData(Connection conn,String filename) {
        Statement stmt;
        String query;
        try {
            stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
                    ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
            //For comma separated file
            query = "SELECT id,text,price into OUTFILE  '"+filename+
                    "' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' FROM testtable t";
            stmt.executeQuery(query);
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            stmt = null;
