Hi,
I have a 250mb dump and need to extract some data.

I know how to export a single table, but not import a single table using
mysqldump.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

If it is a dump you can pipe it into mysql. If you have a csv like file you
can import it with LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE like things. An example below:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS EnsgDescriptions;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS EnsgDescriptions
(stable_id VARCHAR(128) PRIMARY KEY,
description VARCHAR(128));
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'imports/ensgdescriptions.csv'
INTO TABLE EnsgDescriptions;
Wkr (don't write this in your script :-),

A little bit easier of a way to do this could be the following command:

mysql -u[user] -h[host] -p [database] < [mysql dump file]

Make sure the database you're importing into is EMPTY (or at least the
TABLES you are importing to are empty...)
