Mysql: Export Import

mysql-export-import.md

To export a mysql database (as a dump) from the command line run:

$ mysqldump database_name > database_exportname.sql
$ mysqldump -h hostname -u username -p wordpress > wordpress.sql

To export all databases:

$ mysqldump -A > all_dbs.sql
$ mysqldump --all-databases > all_databases_export.sql

To import one of these mysql databases from the dump into a database:

$ mysql -p -u user_name database_name < file.sql
$ mysql --one-database database_name < all_databases_export.sql
