In this post, I am sharing a script for performing Backup and restoring of MySQL Database using Mysqldump.
Mysqldump is an important tool for MySQL Server, and it creates a *.sql file with database structure and data. It also includes all possible table lock and objects existence script.
I am sharing different syntax and scripts for performing the Backup and Restore of a single database or multiple databases.
Syntax and Command to take the backup of Single Database:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
-- Syntax mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpMyFileName.sql -- Example mysqldump -u root -pTestPass MyDatabase > MyDBBackup.sql |
Syntax and Command for restoring of Single Database:
The new blank database requires being created before any restore operation.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
-- Syntax mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] < dumpMyFileName.sql -- Example mysqldump -u root -pTestPass NewDatabase < MyDBBackup.sql |
Command to take backup of multiple databases:
|
1 |
mysqldump -u root -pTestPass --databases MyDB1 MyDB2 > MultipleDB.sql |
Command to take backup of all databases:
|
1 |
mysqldump -u root -pTestPass --all-databases > All.sql |
