Description:
SELECT INTO OUTFILE insists on seeing a FROM clause, even though that may not be necessary for a correct/complete query. I.e. this is probably a parser bug.

How to repeat:
mysql> SELECT 1 INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/bla';
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

mysql> SELECT 1 INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/bla' FROM anytable;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
fix parser.
