I've got a small script which allows me to select a database, and a number of tables, then output them via mysqldump
.
Currently this does not include the USE 'db_name'
statement in the output file, something which I need to be included.
Here's an example the dump command I'm using:-
mysqldump -u root db_name tbl_1 tbl_2 tbl_3 > output.sql
I found this question here, which describes the same issue I'm having, however the provided answer does not work for me. The USE 'db_name'
statement is simply not written to the outputted SQL file.
Here's everything from one of my dumped SQL files, upto where it starts the DROP
/CREATE
table commands:
-- MySQL dump 10.13 Distrib 5.5.16, for Win64 (x86)
--
-- Host: localhost Database: db_name
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version 5.5.16-log
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=@@COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */;
/*!40103 SET @OLD_TIME_ZONE=@@TIME_ZONE */;
/*!40103 SET TIME_ZONE='+00:00' */;
/*!40014 SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0 */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO' */;
/*!40111 SET @OLD_SQL_NOTES=@@SQL_NOTES, SQL_NOTES=0 */;
If anyone knows a solution to this, or why the solution in the other question isn't working for me, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
... the --all-databases or --databases option because no CREATE DATABASE statements are written unless one of those options is specified.
