How to export and import a .sql file from command line with options?
Not Duplicate! looking for some feature have phpmyadmin during export in command line
I want to export and import a .sql file to and from a MySQL database from command line.
Is there any command to export .sql file in MySQL? Then how do I import it?
When doing the export/import, there may be constraints like enable/disable foreign key check or export only table structure.
Can we set those options with mysqldump?
some example of Options
Answer
Type the following command to import sql data file:
$ mysql -u username -p -h localhost DATA-BASE-NAME < data.sql
In this example, import 'data.sql' file into 'blog' database using vivek as username:
$ mysql -u vivek -p -h localhost blog < data.sql
If you have a dedicated database server, replace localhost hostname with with actual server name or IP address as follows:
$ mysql -u username -p -h 202.54.1.10 databasename < data.sql
To export a database, use the following:
mysqldump -u username -p databasename > filename.sql
Note the < and > symbols in each case.
