I have a database. All I want to do is dump ALL the existing data in every table to I can then use it to simply import the SQL to my new database?
Im presuming the dump will be a bunch of MySQL INSERT statements
You can also use mysqldump, native mysql tool for this purpose.
You can use a tool such as mysql workbench or phpmyadmin to create the dump.
It will be a bunch of inserts as well as all the other data in it (such as procedures).

I have a PostgreSQL schema file, and I have an SQL dump from a MySQL database. I want to know how I can import my MySQL dump file into Postgresql, using the postgresql schema file.
You cna't direct restore mysql dump file into postgres
You use psotgresql wiki or specific software trasnfer like:
Postgresql wiki
ESF Database Migration Toolkit
Can you install another MySQL, load the dump there, and export the data in CSV format? This should allow you to load the data into PostgreSQL, using the COPY command.
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:
Is there any database schema generation tool that creates schema diagram
by importing the mysql .sql database schema file.
I believe that MySQL Workbench is what you're looking for.
I haven't done it myself, but it does support importing of SQL files.
Also you can point your existing DB to Workbench and create a schema graphically and do what ever changes you prefer.
Then you can export a set of new changes to a different SQL so, you can easily upgrade your production databases.
Caveat: I have zero experience with MySQL.
I've been given a series of files to do a data conversion and would like to migrate the provided data into SQL Server 2008. The files are:
*.myd
*.myi
*.frm
These file types, as I understand it, are MyISAM. I believe that if I had a running MySQL instance, migrating to SQL Server would be fairly straightforward. I could could either use SQL Server's import wizard or Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for MySQL v1.0. Unfortunately, these files are what I'm stuck with -- I just don't have access to the original MySQL instance.
I also don't presently have MySQL as a running instance locally and I'm not sure if there would be compatibility issues with the files I have.
Can I attach them to MySQL 5.5 with the goal of performing a SQLDump or perhaps to use either tool mentioned above? Am I missing a better way?
Yes, you can easily attach them to MySQL 5.5. Then you can dump the tables using mysqldump (be aware that you will need to either modify dump and remove mysql-specific stuff from the dump, or probably customize mysqldump output - check mysqldump documentation for details). You can also try to link Mysql instance to SQL Server, and then copy tables using SELECT ... INTO [sql_server_table_name] FROM [mysql_table_name].
In any case, the hardest part is to migrate stored procedures/triggers. Mysql and SQL Server have quite a different syntax for them, so you probably cannot automate this process.
Update
Also, I forgot to mention that you will have to modify mysql auto_increment columns to IDENTITY([next_auto_increment_value],1) SQL server.
Welcome,
I'm looking for php class what allow me to backup MySQL (5.x) databases under PHP.
I test many from phpclasses but most all are written for mysql 4 and under mysql5, generate wrong code.
Class should allow me to dump my database into file.
easy restore that file.
generated file (.sql) should be compatible with phpmyadmin.
You will get better results using mysqldump as compared to phpMyAdmin's SQL Export especially when dealing with large databases and large strings of data
as #Dan mentioned, use exec() or shell_exec() to run the mysqldump command
MySQL has its own dump and import abilities. You can simply call use the mysqldump and mysql clients already installed on your server. If you want to wrap that functionality in a PHP script, build the commands as strings and use exec() or shell_exec() to run them on the system.
