I have this task in my work to create a MySQL dump file and i have to review the file before restoring it from a different server.
My problem is how to compare my created dump file to the database where i get it from to make sure that all tables or function and stored proc are included in the dump file.
Is there a way to do it because currently i'm manually reviewing the dump file per table name function and stored proc which is very time consuming.
I did mysqldump for --all-databases and after some software updation on my machine the one database has deleted. so, How to restore that particular database form .sql file?
.sql file contain mysqump for all database.
pleased suggest something
When I've done this in the past I've used Workbench.
The SQL should contain the code to re-create the schemas and tables, along with the data.
I'm using MysQL 5.6 and MySQL 6.1 WorkBench. I found this on how to dump whole data base
with values, but the problem is it separates every table into one sql file. How can I dump whole data base to only one sql file?
Use the Option "Export to Self-Contained File to dump the selected database(s) into one sql file:
If I have a cms, shopping cart, or some db based web script and lets say it has a database with like 50 tables
If I have a .sql file (call it patch.sql) that has a few ALTER commands and some UPDATE commands, I can goto phpmyadmin, import the patch.sql file and it will "apply" the changes to my db.
But lets say I export my db to a mydb.sql file first
Is there a way to "apply" the changes from "patch.sql" to "mydb.sql" without using a database?
I figured some command line like
mysql.exe merge patch.sql mydb.sql
or something but I didn't see anything like that.
Is phpmyadmin with a database the only way?
If your goal is to be able to later reimport mydb.sql and get the patched version of the database, then no, there are no tools to do that. patch.sql may has altered the structure of the database as well as the data itself based on your description. What you should do is apply the patch to your database, then export your db to a new .sql file.
The title pretty much says it all, but to elaborate: If I build a mySQL database on my local dev machine, populate it with data, and subsequently want to migrate the database to a shared host (in this case, Siteground,) how do I do so in a way that keeps structure and data intact?
In this case, I don't have file access to the database server.
use mysqldump (doc) and dump your database (mysqldump [databasename] for a simple configuration) on your development machine to a dump (a file containing sql statements needed to recover both schema and data). Now insert the dump on your shared-host using the provided utilities (normaly you get phpMyAdmin preinstalled from your hoster, which can import dumps)
In addition to the response made by theomega (namely, do a dump of your development database and then insert the dump into your production database), be aware that you may need to enable large SQL insert statements if you have a lot of data. I would recommend you first FTP the file to the host, and then do the insert from a file. Each host has their own way of doing it, but if you can connect to the remote server using SSH, there is likely the ability to run the insert using the command line.
also in addition to theomega: most tools for mysql has dump / execute functions for sql files.
if you're using navicat, for an example, you're just a right-click away:
right-click on the database you want to export, and choose "dump sql file". this will allow you to save the .sql file on your local drive in the folder of your choosing.
then, right click on the destination database and choose "execute batch file". browse to the newly-created .sql file and it will execute all sql commands from that file in the destination database. namely, creating a copy of the exported db.
