Re: MySQL 8 UMASK change from 0666 to 0640

[Bjørn Munch]

That UMASK was changed for security reasons and you cannot change it back. So if your app does not have the right privileges, you will unfortunately have to adapt. You should be able to make a copy of the file which you can then modify.

Another possibility suggested in the reference manual: If your app can run the mysql client program, you can do mysql -e "SELECT ..." > file_name to generate the file. The app should then be able to modify the file, since it created it.
