I'd like to get dumps of each mysql table into separate files. The manual indicates that the syntax for this is
mysqldump [options] db_name [tbl_name ...]
Which indicates that you know the table names before hand. I could set up the script that knows each table name now, but say I add a new table down the road and forget to update the dump script. Then I'm missing dumps for one or more table.
Is there a way to automagically dump each existing table into a separate file? Or am I going to have to do some script-fu; query the database, get all the table names, and dump them by name.
If I go the script-fu route, what scripting langauges can access a mysql database?
Here's a script that dumps table data as SQL commands into separate, compressed files. It does not require being on the MySQL server host, doesn't hard-code the password in the script, and is just for a specific db, not all db's on the server:
#!/bin/bash
# dump-tables-mysql.sh
# Descr: Dump MySQL table data into separate SQL files for a specified database.
# Usage: Run without args for usage info.
# Author: #Trutane
# Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/q/3669121/138325
# Notes:
# * Script will prompt for password for db access.
# * Output files are compressed and saved in the current working dir, unless DIR is
# specified on command-line.
[ $# -lt 3 ] && echo "Usage: $(basename $0) <DB_HOST> <DB_USER> <DB_NAME> [<DIR>]" && exit 1
DB_host=$1
DB_user=$2
DB=$3
DIR=$4
[ -n "$DIR" ] || DIR=.
test -d $DIR || mkdir -p $DIR
echo -n "DB password: "
read -s DB_pass
echo
echo "Dumping tables into separate SQL command files for database '$DB' into dir=$DIR"
tbl_count=0
for t in $(mysql -NBA -h $DB_host -u $DB_user -p$DB_pass -D $DB -e 'show tables')
do
echo "DUMPING TABLE: $DB.$t"
mysqldump -h $DB_host -u $DB_user -p$DB_pass $DB $t | gzip > $DIR/$DB.$t.sql.gz
tbl_count=$(( tbl_count + 1 ))
done
echo "$tbl_count tables dumped from database '$DB' into dir=$DIR"
The mysqldump command line program does this for you - although the docs are very unclear about this.
One thing to note is that ~/output/dir has to be writable by the user that owns mysqld. On Mac OS X:
sudo chown -R _mysqld:_mysqld ~/output/dir
mysqldump --user=dbuser --password --tab=~/output/dir dbname
After running the above, you will have one tablename.sql file containing each table's schema (create table statement) and tablename.txt file containing the data.
If you want a dump with schema only, add the --no-data flag:
mysqldump --user=dbuser --password --no-data --tab=~/output/dir dbname
You can accomplish this by:
Get the list of databases in mysql
dump each database with mysqldump
# Optional variables for a backup script
MYSQL_USER="root"
MYSQL_PASS="something"
BACKUP_DIR=/srv/backup/$(date +%Y-%m-%dT%H_%M_%S);
test -d "$BACKUP_DIR" || mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
# Get the database list, exclude information_schema
for db in $(mysql -B -s -u $MYSQL_USER --password=$MYSQL_PASS -e 'show databases' | grep -v information_schema)
do
# dump each database in a separate file
mysqldump -u $MYSQL_USER --password=$MYSQL_PASS "$db" | gzip > "$BACKUP_DIR/$db.sql.gz"
done
Here is the corresponding import.
#!/bin/bash

I have had recently the need to backup a big database (more than 250GB uncompressed dump file) and I found the answers to this question really helpful.
I started using #Trutane approach and it worked like a charm. But I was concerned about dumping tables in different mysql sessions because that could, in some moment, drive to a non-consistent backup.
After some research and testing, I have developed a different solution based on gawk. The basic idea is creating a dump of the whole database using mysqldump with --single-transaction=true and then process the output with gawk to produce a different file for every table.
So I can call:
mysqldump --single-transaction=true -u DBUSERNAME -p DBNAME | \
gawk -v 'database=DBNAME' -f 'backup.awk' -
And it produces, in current folder, a bunch of $database.$table.sql files with the schema of every table and $database.$table.sql.gz files with the content of every table. Thanks to the param --single-transaction=true, all the dump happens in a single transaction and data consistency is ensured.
The content of backup.awk is:
# Split mysqldump output in different files, two per table:
# * First file is named $database.$table.sql and it contains the table schema
# * Second file is named $database.$table.sql.gz and it contains the table data
# The 'database' variable is expected to be provided in command-line
BEGIN {
insert=0
filename=sprintf("%s.header.sql", database);
}
# A line starting with "INSERT INTO" activates inserting mode
/INSERT INTO/ { insert=1 }
# A line containing "-- Table structure for table `name-of-table`" finishes inserting mode
# It is also used to detect table name and change file names accordingly
match($0, /-- Table structure for table `(.*)`/, m) {
insert=0;
table=m[1];
filename=sprintf("%s.%s.sql", database, table);
print sprintf("Dumping table %s\n", table);
}
# If in inserting mode, line is piped to a gzipped file,
# if it is not, it is redirected to an uncompressed schema file
{
if (insert == 1) {
output = sprintf("gzip > %s.gz", filename);
print | output
} else {
print > filename;
}
}
It looks everybody here forgot of autocommit=0;SET unique_checks=0;SET foreign_key_checks=0; that is suppose to speed up the import process ...
#!/bin/bash
MYSQL_USER="USER"
MYSQL_PASS="PASS"
if [ -z "$1" ]

If You want to dump all tables from all databases just combine Elias Torres Arroyo's and Trutane's answer:
And if You don't want to give Your password on terminal, just store Your password in an extra config file (chmod 0600)- see Mysqldump launched by cron and password security

Check if bash array contains value
arrays in bash
named arguments in script
I'm not bash master, but I'd just do it with a bash script. Without hitting MySQL, with knowledge of the data directory and database name, you could just scan for all .frm files (one for every table in that db/directory) for a list of tables.
I'm sure there are ways to make it slicker and accept arguments or whatnot, but this worked well for me.
tables_in_a_db_to_sql.sh
#!/bin/bash
database="this_is_my_database"
datadir="/var/lib/mysql/"
datadir_escaped="\/var\/lib\/mysql\/"
all_tables=($(ls $datadir$database/*.frm | sed s/"$datadir_escaped$database\/"/""/g | sed s/.frm//g))
for t in "${all_tables[#]}"; do
outfile=$database.$t.sql
echo "-- backing up $t to $outfile"
echo "mysqldump [options] $database $t > $outfile"
# mysqldump [options] $database $t > $outfile
done
Fill in the [options] and desired outfile convention as you need, and uncomment the last mysqldump line.
For Windows Servers, you can use a batch file like so:
set year=%DATE:~10,4%
set day=%DATE:~7,2%
set mnt=%DATE:~4,2%
set hr=%TIME:~0,2%
set min=%TIME:~3,2%
IF %day% LSS 10 SET day=0%day:~1,1%
IF %mnt% LSS 10 SET mnt=0%mnt:~1,1%
IF %hr% LSS 10 SET hr=0%hr:~1,1%
IF %min% LSS 10 SET min=0%min:~1,1%
set backuptime=%year%-%mnt%-%day%-%hr%-%min%
set backupfldr=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\backupfiles\
set datafldr="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data"
set zipper="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\backupfiles\zip\7za.exe"
set retaindays=21
:: Switch to the data directory to enumerate the folders
pushd %datafldr%
:: Get all table names and save them in a temp file
mysql --skip-column-names --user=root --password=mypassword mydatabasename -e "show tables" > tables.txt
:: Loop through all tables in temp file so that we can save one backup file per table
for /f "skip=3 delims=|" %%i in (tables.txt) do (
set tablename = %%i
mysqldump --user=root --password=mypassword mydatabasename %%i > "%backupfldr%mydatabasename.%backuptime%.%%i.sql"
)
del tables.txt
:: Zip all files ending in .sql in the folder
%zipper% a -tzip "%backupfldr%backup.mydatabasename.%backuptime%.zip" "%backupfldr%*.sql"
echo "Deleting all the files ending in .sql only"
del "%backupfldr%*.sql"
echo "Deleting zip files older than 21 days now"
Forfiles /p %backupfldr% /m *.zip /d -%retaindays% /c "cmd /c del /q #path"
Then schedule it using Windows Task Scheduler.
Also, if you want to exclude certain tables in your backup, note that you can use a where clause on the "show tables" statement, but the column name depends on your database name.
So for example, if your database name is "blah" then your column name in the "show tables" result set will be "tables_in_blah". Which means you could add a where clause something similar to this:
show tables where tables_in_blah <> 'badtable'
or
show tables where tables_in_blah like '%goodtable%'
They complete the route where they would store the backups. East
case we are creating one per day of the week, so we have 7 days of backup and they are recycled.
check how many databases it has and then how many tables each database has. and create a file named by db.tablename.sql
which can then be restored.

See the following article by Pauli Marcus:
Howto split a SQL database dump into table-wise files
Splitting a sql file containing a whole database into per-table files
is quite easy: Grep the .sql for any occurence of DROP TABLE. Generate
the file name from the table name that is included in the DROP TABLE
statement. Echo the output to a file. Here is a little script that
expects a .sql file as input:
#!/bin/bash
file=$1 # the input file
directory="$file-splitted" # the output directory
output="$directory/header" # the first file containing the header
GREP="DROP TABLE" # what we are looking for
mkdir $directory # create the output directory
while read line
do
# if the current line contains the wanted statement
if [ $(echo "$line" | grep -c "$GREP") == "1" ]
then
# extract the file name
myfile=$(echo $line | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e 's/`//g' -e 's/;//g')
# set the new file name
output="$directory/$myfile"
fi
echo "$line" >> $output # write to file
done < $file

I have an Access database with field descriptions that (theoretically) are visible in Design View. I don't have a copy of access. I can export the data and schema using mdbtools, but those don't come with the descriptions. Are there ways to programmatically extract those descriptions?
Turns out there was an un/under-documented mdbutils command that will give metadata for a table: mdb-prop. Here's a shell script that will list out the metadata of every field, adapted from a script whose provenance I have forgotten:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Usage: mdb-export-all.sh full-path-to-db
command -v mdb-tables >/dev/null 2>&1 || {
echo >&2 "I require mdb-tables but it's not installed. Aborting.";
exit 1;
}
command -v mdb-export >/dev/null 2>&1 || {
echo >&2 "I require mdb-export but it's not installed. Aborting.";
exit 1;
}
fullfilename=$1
filename=$(basename "$fullfilename")
dbname=${filename%.*}
mkdir "$dbname"
IFS=$'\n'
for table in $(mdb-tables -1 "$fullfilename"); do
echo "Check table $table"
# Save a file with with all metadata for every field
mdb-prop "$fullfilename" "$table" > "$dbname/$table.txt"
# Save a file with with just the descriptions:
cat "$dbname/$table.txt" | grep -E 'name|Description' > "$dbname/info_$table.txt"
done
i am trying to check whether a table is empty or not using shell script
the code that i have is
#!/bin/bash
if [ "mysql -u user -ppassword -hserver dbname -e 'select count(*) from test_dec;'" != 0 ];
then
echo "table not empty"
else
echo "table empty"
fi
but when i run this it always displays "table not empty" even if the output of the query is 0.
user#server$ ./table_check.sh
table not empty
what is wrong here?
This is my version of the script and it will first check if table exists and if yes will check if the table is empty.
BASH
#!/bin/bash
# Prepare variables
TABLE=$1
SQL_EXISTS=$(printf 'SHOW TABLES LIKE "%s"' "$TABLE")
SQL_IS_EMPTY=$(printf 'SELECT 1 FROM %s LIMIT 1' "$TABLE")
# Credentials
USERNAME=YOUR_USERNAME
PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD
DATABASE=YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
echo "Checking if table <$TABLE> exists ..."
# Check if table exists
if [[ $(mysql -u $USERNAME -p$PASSWORD -e "$SQL_EXISTS" $DATABASE) ]]
then
echo "Table exists ..."
# Check if table has records
if [[ $(mysql -u $USERNAME -p$PASSWORD -e "$SQL_IS_EMPTY" $DATABASE) ]]
then
echo "Table has records ..."
else
echo "Table is empty ..."
fi
else
echo "Table not exists ..."
fi
USAGE
First before using this script you need to replace YOUR_USERNAME, YOUR_PASSWORD and YOUR_DATABASE_NAME with the corresponding values. Then:
# bash SCRIPT_NAME TABLE_TO_CHECK
bash my_script my_table
where SCRIPT_NAME( my_script ) is the name of the file holding the above script content and TABLE_TO_CHECK( my_table ) is the name of the table that you want to check for.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Checking if table <my_table> exists ...
Table exists ...
Table is empty ...
COUPLE OF WORDS ABOUT THE CODE
Store the first argument from the command line in variable TABLE
TABLE=$1
Prepare two variables that will hold the SQL queries used to check.
Note that printf is used to insert the table name in the variables, because $('SHOW TABLES LIKE "$TABLE"') is not going to work.
SQL_EXISTS=$(printf 'SHOW TABLES LIKE "%s"' "$TABLE")
SQL_IS_EMPTY=$(printf 'SELECT COUNT(*) as records FROM %s' "$TABLE")
Check if table exists. SHOW TABLES LIKE "table_name" will return empty string if the table does not exist and the if statement will fail. Usage of the $ like $(echo 1 + 2) means - evaluate whatever is inside the parentheses and return that as a value.
if [[ $(mysql -u $USERNAME -p$PASSWORD -e "$SQL_EXISTS" $DATABASE) ]]
Finally we check if table is empty. Using the previous approach. Basically we check if MySQL will return empty string (for empty tables), otherwise the query will return some text as a result and we can consider the table not empty.
if [[ $(mysql -u $USERNAME -p$PASSWORD -e "$SQL_IS_EMPTY" $DATABASE) ]]
This should work
if [ $(mysql -u root -p -e \
"select count(*) from information_schema.tables where \
table_schema='db_name' and table_name='table_name';") -eq 1 ]; then
echo "table exist"
exit 1
else
echo "table doesn't exist"
exit 1
fi
I think below will do your work,
#!/bin/bash
if [ $(mysql -u user -ppassword -hserver dbname -sse "select count(*) from test_dec;") -gt 0 ];
then
echo "table not empty"
else
echo "table empty"
fi
3 changes from your script,
enclose whole mysql statement part inside $(..) --> to make LHS the result of what goes inside $(...)
change -e to -sse in mysql connection statement --> to get only result of query to output without header and table structure.
Change != to -gt --> operator for integer comparison in bash
This works for me when testing if we need to re-import a database.
databasename="mydatabasename";
tablename="tableweneed";
dbhost="localhost";
username="user";
password="password";
dbtest=$(mysql -h ${dbhost} -u ${username} -p${password} -s -N -e "select count(*) as tablecount from information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='${databasename}' and table_name='${tablename}'")
if [ "$dbtest" == 1 ]; then
echo "Database is ok"
else
echo "Database is being re-imported"
mysql -h ${dbhost} -u ${user} -p${password} ${databasename} < /somefolderonmysystem/importdb.sql
fi
After trying a few different methods, this is what we used:
if [[ $(mysql --execute "SHOW TABLES FROM ${DB_NAME} LIKE '${DB_PREFIX}options';") -gt 0 ]]; then
...and yes, we define mysql as a function earlier in the script, and the database name and database prefix are also defined in a configuration file (this is part of our SlickStack project).
function mysql {
command mysql --user=root --host=localhost --protocol=socket --port=3306 --force "$#"
}
You can change the name of this function in your bash script as desired.
Example: https://github.com/littlebizzy/slickstack/blob/master/bash/ss-install-wordpress-config.txt
I'm writing a script which runs the following command
mysql -u root -e "show databases"
and this will display a list of databases.
If this table doesn't contain a database by name "userdb", it should do the following-
if [ ... ]; then
echo "error"
exit
fi
What do i write in the if [ ... ] condition?
You can check with grep if the table name is listed. grep -q will not print anything to the console but will set the exit status according to the result (the exit status will then be checked by if).
if ! mysql -u root -e 'show databases' | grep -q '^userdb$' ; then
echo error
exit
fi
About the regular expression: '^' matches the beginning of the line and '$' matches the end of the line (to avoid a false positive for database names containing userdb, e.g. userdb2)
Try this one:
usedb=DBname
check=`mysql -u root -e "show databases" | grep $userdb`
if [ "$check" != "$userdb" ]; then
echo "error"
exit
fi
But here will be an error if line with database name contain any other information.
Try to workaround it with regexp
I'm in the middle of making my first django app, and I'd like to commit it to git in such a way that someone can clone it down and start working on it with the least amount of trouble. One of the things I needed to do to get things up and running was to create a new db in my local mysql installation and create a new user there. I'd love to let someone clone things down and have that done automatically for them. Is there a good way to do this?
Use mysql-python and write a python script to create the database or alter my shell script to make it suit your needs.

I have dumped a MySQL database with the --tab option, which creates 2 files per table (a SQL file with the create table and a tab-separated-values file with the data).
Is there an easy way to import this directory of files back into a MySQL server? I can't find the option in mysqlimport.
for i in `ls *.sql`; do
sql_file=$i;
table_name=`echo $sql_file | sed "s/.sql$//"`
mysql -u root database_name < $sql_file
echo "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '$table_name.txt' INTO TABLE $table_name" | mysql -u root database_name
done
You can do this several ways - the most direct would be
mysql db < sql_structure_file
This creates the tables. Then do (from mysql client)
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE tab_delimited_file INTO TABLE
(with appropriate names, delimiters, etc )
I'm using this bash script which first imports all the sql files to build the tables, then the txt files. The data is loaded using background processes in parallel — basically emulating the multi-thread option in mysqlimport. Usage is like this:
./import_table.sh database_name /path/to/dump/files
SCRIPT:
#!/bin/bash
DIR=$(echo $2 | sed 's/\/$//')
function import_sql() {
mysql $1 < $2;
echo "mysql $1 < '$2'";
}
function import_txt() {
mysqlimport --silent $1 $2;
echo "mysqlimport --silent $1 '$2'";
}
for filename in $DIR/*.sql; do
[ -e "$filename" ] || continue
import_sql $1 $filename &
done
wait
echo 'ALL SQL IMPORTED';
for filename in $DIR/*.txt; do
[ -e "$filename" ] || continue
import_txt $1 $filename &
done
wait
echo 'ALL TXT IMPORTED';
