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

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.
If you're already running the SQL shell, you can use the source command to import data:
use databasename; source data.sql; mysqldump will not dump database events, triggers and routines unless explicitly stated when dumping individual databases;
mysqldump -uuser -p db_name --events --triggers --routines > db_name.sql Well you can use below command to export,
mysqldump --databases --user=root --password your_db_name > export_into_db.sql
and the generated file will be available in the same directory where you had ran this command.
Now login to mysql using command,
mysql -u[username] -p
then use "source" command with the file path.
Dump an entire database to a file:
mysqldump -u USERNAME -p password DATABASENAME > FILENAME.sql Try
mysqldump databaseExample > file.sql since I have no enough reputation to comment after the highest post, so I add here.
use '|' on linux platform to save disk space.
thx @Hariboo, add events/triggers/routints parameters
mysqldump -x -u [uname] -p[pass] -C --databases db_name --events --triggers --routines | sed -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=[ ]*[^*]*\*/\*/ ' | awk '{ if (index($0,"GTID_PURGED")) { getline; while (length($0) > 0) { getline; } } else { print $0 } }' | grep -iv 'set @@' | trickle -u 10240 mysql -u username -p -h localhost DATA-BASE-NAME some issues/tips:
Error: ......not exist when using LOCK TABLES

# add sed/awk to avoid some privilege issues hope this help!
1You can use this script to export or import any database from terminal given at this link:
echo -e "Welcome to the import/export database utility\n" echo -e "the default location of mysqldump file is: /opt/lampp/bin/mysqldump\n" echo -e "the default location of mysql file is: /opt/lampp/bin/mysql\n" read -p 'Would like you like to change the default location [y/n]: ' location_change read -p "Please enter your username: " u_name read -p 'Would you like to import or export a database: [import/export]: ' action echo mysqldump_location=/opt/lampp/bin/mysqldump mysql_location=/opt/lampp/bin/mysql if [ "$action" == "export" ]; then if [ "$location_change" == "y" ]; then read -p 'Give the location of mysqldump that you want to use: ' mysqldump_location echo else echo -e "Using default location of mysqldump\n" fi read -p 'Give the name of database in which you would like to export: ' db_name read -p 'Give the complete path of the .sql file in which you would like to export the database: ' sql_file $mysqldump_location -u $u_name -p $db_name > $sql_file elif [ "$action" == "import" ]; then if [ "$location_change" == "y" ]; then read -p 'Give the location of mysql that you want to use: ' mysql_location echo else echo -e "Using default location of mysql\n" fi read -p 'Give the complete path of the .sql file you would like to import: ' sql_file read -p 'Give the name of database in which to import this file: ' db_name $mysql_location -u $u_name -p $db_name < $sql_file else echo "please select a valid command" fi
