I am using MySQL on centos7. I have 50 databases Like database1, database2...., database50.
How can I set a cronjob for take a dump every day of all database same as database name [ Like database1.sql, database2.sql .... database50.sql ] using single command or script.
Please provide some adequate solution that will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Convert the current date to an integer number of days since some starting date.
Take that modulo 50. This gives you 0 .. 49.
Add 1 and concatenate. Now you have database1 .. database50. Put that in the shell variable db
mysqldump ... $db >$db.sql
I am using this script

I want to backup my database automatically using cron job and I want to use dynamic filename indicating the date of backup.
* * * * * mysqldump -udbuser -pdbpassword mydb > /backups/mydb.`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`.sql
But it seems doesn't work. I check the cron log it shows like this.
Oct 31 11:18:00 dbuser /usr/sbin/cron[94330]: (dbuser) CMD (mysqldump -udbuser -pdbpassword mydb > /backups/mydb.`date +")
It looks like the command is not executed completely. How can I fix it?
Cronjobs does not understand those variables.
Below is a php script backup that works for me for many years. It backup as sql and zip it directly.
$dbFile = '/data/Backup/backup-'.date('Ymd').'.sql.gz';
$dbHost = 'localhost'; // Database Host
$dbUser = 'username'; // Database Username
$dbPass = 'password'; // Database Password
exec( 'mysqldump --host="'.$dbHost.'" --user="'.$dbUser.'" --password="'.$dbPass.'" --add-drop-table "databasename" | gzip > "'.$dbFile.'"' );
and below is the cronjob
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /path_to_backup_script/backup.php
Sorry for not give the extract answer for your question but you can try this:
- Paste this command to bash file (for example: /tmp/backup.sh):
#!/bin/bash
export TIME=$(date +'%Y%m%d')
export DATABASEHOST=192.168.100.10
export SCHEMA="db01 db02"
export DBPORT="3306"
export DBPS=$(echo 'password')
export BACKUPDIR=$(echo '/backup')
ERR=0
backup()
{
for i in $SCHEMA;
do
echo $TIME >> /tmp/db_tar_backup_err.log
cd $BACKUPDIR
mysqldump -ubackup -p$DBPS -h $DATABASEHOST -P $DBPORT --single-transaction --routines --triggers $i > db_${i}_$TIME.sql
tar -czPf db_${i}_$TIME.tar.gz db_${i}_$TIME.sql 2>> /tmp/db_tar_backup_err.log || ERR=1
find db_${i}_$TIME.sql -delete
done
}
backup()
- Create crontab entry:
0 20 * * * /bin/sh /tmp/backup.sh
Explain:
Your script will backup database db01, db02 in order of SCHEMA varibles and using tar to compress it at 20:00
I have an existing MySQL instance (test), containing 2 databases and a few users each having different access privileges to each database.
I now need to duplicate one of the databases (into production) and the users associated with it.
Duplicating the database was easy:
Export:
mysqldump --no-data --tables -u root -p secondb >> secondb_schema.sql
Import:
mysql -u root -p -h localhost secondb < secondb_schema.sql
I didn't find, however, a straightforward way to export and import users, from the command line (either inside or outside mysql).
How do I export and import a user, from the command line?
Update: So far, I have found manual (and thus error prone) steps for accomplishing this:
-- lists all users
select user,host from mysql.user;
Then find its grants:
-- find privilege granted to a particular user
show grants for 'root'#'localhost';
Then manually create user with the grants listed in the result of the 'show grants' command above.
I prefer a safer, more automated way. Is there one?
One of the easiest ways I've found to export users is using Percona's tool pt-show-grants. The Percona tool kit is free, easy to install, and easy to use, with lots of documentation.
It's an easy way to show all users, or specific users. It lists all of their grants and outputs in SQL format. I'll give an example of how I would show all grants for test_user:
shell> pt-show-grants --only test_user
Example output of that command:
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'test_user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*06406C868B12689643D7E55E8EB2FE82B4A6F5F4';
GRANT ALTER, INSERT, LOCK TABLES, SELECT, UPDATE ON `test`.* TO 'test_user'#'%';
I usually rederict the output into a file so I can edit what I need, or load it into mysql.
Alternatively, if you don't want to use the Percona tool and want to do a dump of all users, you could use mysqldump in this fashion:
shell> mysqldump mysql --tables user db > users.sql
Note: --flush-privileges won't work with this, as the entire db isn't being dumped. this means you need to run it manually.
shell> mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES"
mysql -u<user> -p<password> -h<host> -e"select concat('show grants for ','\'',user,'\'#\'',host,'\'') from mysql.user" > user_list_with_header.txt
sed '1d' user_list_with_header.txt > ./user.txt
while read user; do mysql -u<user> -p<password> -h<host> -e"$user" > user_grant.txt; sed '1d' user_grant.txt >> user_privileges.txt; echo "flush privileges" >> user_privileges.txt; done < user.txt
awk '{print $0";"}' user_privileges.txt >user_privileges_final.sql
rm user.txt user_list_with_header.txt user_grant.txt user_privileges.txt
Above script will run in linux environment and output will be user_privileges_final.sql that you can import in new mysql server where you want to copy user privileges.
UPDATE: There was a missing - for the user of the 2nd mysql statement.
In mysql 5.7 and later you can use this.
mysqlpump -uroot -p${yourpasswd} --exclude-databases=% --users
This will generate a sql format output that you can redirect to mysql_users.sql.
Note that it is mysqlpump not mysqldump.
Yet another bash one-liner for linux that you can use instead of the Percona tool:
mysql -u<user> -p<password> -h<host> -N mysql -e "select concat(\"'\", user, \"'#'\", host, \"'\"), coalesce(password, authentication_string) from user where not user like 'mysql.%'" | while read usr pw ; do echo "GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO $usr IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '$pw';" ; mysql -u<user> -p<password> -h<host> -N -e "SHOW GRANTS FOR $usr" | grep -v 'GRANT USAGE' | sed 's/\(\S\)$/\1;/' ; done
In complement of #Sergey-Podushkin 's answer, this shell script code is workin for me:
mysql -u<user> -p<password> -N mysql -e "select concat(\"'\", user, \"'#'\", host, \"'\"), authentication_string from user where not user like 'root'" | while read usr pw ; do mysql -u<user> -p<password> -N -e "SHOW GRANTS FOR $usr" | sed 's/\(\S\)$/\1;/'; done
PhpMyAdminYou can use phpMyAdmin.
Login and Go to your database or a table where the user has access.
Select privileges
All users with access are there.
Select Export. And a little window with all the GRANTS are there ready to copy and paste.
I tackled this with a small C# program. There is code here to generate a script or apply the grants directly from source to destination. If porting from a Windows -> *nix environment you may have to consider case sensitivity issues.

Here's what I'm using these days as part of my daily backup scripts (requires root shell and MySQL access, linux shell, and uses the mysql built-in schema:
First, I create a file /var/backup/mysqlroot.cnf containing the root password so I can automate my scripts and not hardcode any passwords in them:
[client]
password=(put your password here)
Then I create an export script which dumps create user commands and grants like this:
touch /var/backup/backup_sql.sh
chmod 700 /var/backup/backup_sql.sh
vi /var/backup/backup_sql.sh
And then write the following contents:
#!/bin/bash
mysql --defaults-extra-file=/var/backup/mysqlroot.cnf -sNe " \
SELECT \
CONCAT( 'CREATE USER \'', User, '\'#\'', Host, '\' IDENTIFIED BY \'', authentication_string, '\'\;' ) AS User \
FROM mysql.user \
WHERE \
User NOT LIKE 'mysql.%' AND CONCAT( User, Host ) <> 'rootlocalhost' AND User <> 'debian-sys-maint' \
"
mysql --defaults-extra-file=/var/backup/mysqlroot.cnf -sNe " \
SELECT \
CONCAT( '\'', User, '\'#\'', Host, '\'' ) as User FROM mysql.user \
WHERE \
User NOT LIKE 'mysql.%' \
AND CONCAT( User, Host ) <> 'rootlocalhost' \
AND User <> 'debian-sys-maint' \
" | sort | while read u ;
do echo "-- $u"; mysql --defaults-extra-file=/var/backup/mysqlroot.cnf -sNe "show grants for $u" | sed 's/$/;/'
done
Then I just have to run it like this:
/var/backup/backup_sql.sh > /tmp/exportusers.sql
A PHP script to loop over your users to get the grant commands would be as such:
// Set up database root credentials
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'root';
$pass = 'YOUR PASSWORD';
// ---- Do not edit below this ----
// Misc settings
header('Content-type: text/plain; Charset=UTF-8');
// Final import queries goes here
$export = array();
// Connect to database
try {
$link = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=mysql", $user, $pass);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
printf('Connect failed: %s', $e->getMessage());
die();
}
// Get users from database
$statement = $link->prepare("select `user`, `host`, `password` FROM `user`");
$statement->execute();
while ($row = $statement->fetch())
{
$user = $row[0];
$host = $row[1];
$pass = $row[2];
$export[] = "CREATE USER '{$user}'#'{$host}' IDENTIFIED BY '{$pass}'";
// Fetch any permissions found in database
$statement2 = $link->prepare("SHOW GRANTS FOR '{$user}'#'{$host}'");
$statement2->execute();
while ($row2 = $statement2->fetch())
{
$export[] = $row2[0];
}
}
$link = null;
echo implode(";\n", $export);

First mysql command : export all users to file and exclude some.
Second mysql command : loop users from file to write a sql command 'create user' to an exported file (with authentication credentials).
Third mysql command : loop users from file to append their privileges to the exported file.
sed command to append a ";" to end of lines and flush privileges to finish.
To import : MYSQL_PWD=$pass mysql -u root < mysql_all_users_sql.sql
SELECT CONCAT('\create user ', user,'\'#\'', host, '\' identified by ', "'", authentication_string, "'"'\;') FROM user WHERE user != 'mysql.session' AND user !='mysql.sys' AND user != 'root' AND user != '';
I had the same problem. The solution is that after the import of the backup you need to do a "flush privileges;". Then the privileges of the users will be active as in the original database.
So execute:
mysql -u root -p -h localhost secondb < secondb_schema.sql
mysql -u root
then in mysql:
flush privileges;
I created a little script which must change engine for tables:
#!/bin/bash
echo "use test_1;" > query.sql
get_list () {
mysql -u teamcity -ppassword -B -N -e 'show tables like "%"' test_1 | xargs -I '{}' echo "alter table {} engine=innodb;" >> query.sql
}
get_list ;
mysql -u teamcity -ppassword < query.sql
But - how can I avoid use query.sql file? I make few attempts with "Here document" - but can't solve it...
For example - trying this:
#!/bin/bash
get_list () {
mysql -u teamcity -ppassword -B -N -e 'show tables like "%"' test_1 | xargs -I '{}' echo "alter table {} engine=innodb;"
}
a="$(get_list)"
b="use test_1;"
c="$b $a"
mysql -u teamcity -ppassword <<< $c
But it is not working...
Put everything in a function and pipe that:
#!/bin/bash
get_list () {
echo "use test_1;"
mysql -u teamcity -ppassword -B -N -e 'show tables like "%"' test_1 | xargs -I '{}' echo "alter table {} engine=innodb;"
}
get_list | mysql -u teamcity -ppassword
My database had lots of views and it was impossible to drop them one by one.
I would like to just drop them all because the database doesn't refresh structure changes of the tables in the view that select from them.
If you want to do this in the MySQL client, you can dynamically generate the DDL statements using information_schema, dump them to a SQL script, and then execute that script.
Example:
select concat('drop view ',table_schema,'.',table_name,';') as ddl
into outfile '/tmp/drop_all_views.sql'
from information_schema.views
where table_schema = 'your_schema';
\. /tmp/drop_all_views.sql
After searching on the web, I found a shell script to drop all tables here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-empty-mysql-database/
Then, I changed that script to drop all views of the database.
This is the final result:
#!/bin/bash
PREFIX=""
SUFFIX=""
HOST="localhost"
PORT="3306"
while getopts p:s:h:P: OPCAO; do
case "${OPCAO}" in
p) PREFIX="${OPTARG}" ;;
s) SUFFIX="${OPTARG}" ;;
h) HOST="${OPTARG}" ;;
P) PORT="${OPTARG}" ;;
esac
done
shift $((OPTIND-1))
MUSER="$1"
MPASS="$2"
MDB="$3"
# Detect paths
MYSQL=$(which mysql)
AWK=$(which awk)
GREP=$(which grep)
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Usage: $0 [-h Host] [-P Port] [-p Prefix-View-Name] [-s Suffix-View-Name] {MySQL-User-Name} {MySQL-User-Password} {MySQL-Database-Name}"
echo "Drops all views from a MySQL"
exit 1
fi
TABLES=$($MYSQL -h $HOST -P $PORT -u $MUSER -p$MPASS $MDB -e "SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.views WHERE table_schema = '$MDB' AND table_name LIKE '$PREFIX%$SUFFIX';" | $AWK '{ print $1}')
for t in $TABLES
do
echo "Deleting $t view from $MDB database..."
$MYSQL -h $HOST -P $PORT -u $MUSER -p$MPASS $MDB -e "drop view $t"
done
This solution will work just for who uses Unix-like systems.
To call the script, I used:
./script.sh [-h host] [-P port] [-p prefixViewName] [-s suffixViewName] username password databaseName
EDIT: I improved the script to accept option parameters, like the host, port and also a prefix and a suffix to filter what views will be dropped.
