MySQL database export


fr@nkie

Recommended Posts

Hi. I have a database MySQL in a server, and I am building a application where I can copy a part of the database from the server to my pc (for example, all clients with the name "peter"), and after this I want to add that especific information to my local database in MySQL.
What the better way to do this? Save the information in a file and open it with the program? And what kind of file?

Thanks a lot :)

Well, mysqldump with produce an SQL-style text file export; if you want something like CSV, you can SELECT.... INTO OUTFILE... with appropriate parameters.  As for XML, I've never tried; I'm sure someone's written a script for this, though it wouldn't be to difficult to roll-your-own.
