.SH "NAME"
mysqldbexport \- Export Object Definitions or Data from a Database
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBmysqldbexport\ [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\ \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB\ \&.\&.\&.\fR\ 'u
\fBmysqldbexport [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This utility exports metadata (object definitions) or data or both from one or more databases\&. By default, the export includes only definitions\&.
.PP
\fBmysqldbexport\fR
differs from
\fBmysqldump\fR
in that it can produce output in a variety of formats to make your data extraction/transport much easier\&. It permits you to export your data in the format most suitable to an external tool, another MySQL server, or other use without the need to reformat the data\&.
.PP
To exclude specific objects by name, use the
\fB\-\-exclude\fR
option with a name in
\fIdb\fR\&.*obj* format, or you can supply a search pattern\&. For example,
\fB\-\-exclude=db1\&.trig1\fR
excludes the single trigger and
\fB\-\-exclude=trig_\fR
excludes all objects from all databases having a name that begins with
trig
and has a following character\&.
.PP
To skip objects by type, use the
\fB\-\-skip\fR
option with a list of the objects to skip\&. This enables you to extract a particular set of objects, say, for exporting only events (by excluding all other types)\&. Similarly, to skip creation of
\fBUPDATE\fR
statements for
BLOB
data, specify the
\fB\-\-skip\-blobs\fR
option\&.
.PP
To specify how to display output, use one of the following values with the
\fB\-\-format\fR
option:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBsql\fR
(default)
.sp
Display output using SQL statements\&. For definitions, this consists of the appropriate
\fBCREATE\fR
and
\fBGRANT\fR
statements\&. For data, this is an
\fBINSERT\fR
statement (or bulk insert if the
\fB\-\-bulk\-insert\fR
option is specified)\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBgrid\fR
.sp
Display output in grid or table format like that of the
\fBmysql\fR
monitor\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBcsv\fR
.sp
Display output in comma\-separated values format\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBtab\fR
.sp
Display output in tab\-separated format\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBvertical\fR
.sp
Display output in single\-column format like that of the
\eG
command for the
\fBmysql\fR
monitor\&.
.RE
.PP
To specify how much data to display, use one of the following values with the
\fB\-\-display\fR
option:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBbrief\fR
.sp
Display only the minimal columns for recreating the objects\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBfull\fR
.sp
Display the complete column list for recreating the objects\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBnames\fR
.sp
Display only the object names\&.
.RE
.PP
Note: For SQL\-format output, the
\fB\-\-display\fR
option is ignored\&.
.PP
To turn off the headers for
\fBcsv\fR
or
\fBtab\fR
display format, specify the
\fB\-\-no\-headers\fR
option\&.
.PP
To turn off all feedback information, specify the
\fB\-\-quiet\fR
option\&.
.PP
To write the data for individual tables to separate files, use the
\fB\-\-file\-per\-table\fR
option\&. The name of each file is composed of the database and table names followed by the file format\&. For example, the following command produces files named db1\&.*table_name*\&.csv:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqldbexport \-\-server=root@server1:3306 \-\-format=csv db1 \-\-export=data
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
By default, the operation uses a consistent snapshot to read the source databases\&. To change the locking mode, use the
\fB\-\-locking\fR
option with a locking type value\&. Use a value of
\fBno\-locks\fR
to turn off locking altogether or
\fBlock\-all\fR
to use only table locks\&. The default value is
\fBsnapshot\fR\&. Additionally, the utility uses WRITE locks to lock the destination tables during the copy\&.
.PP
You can include replication statements for exporting data among a master and slave or between slaves\&. The
\fB\-\-rpl\fR
option permits you to select from the following replication statements to include in the export\&.
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fBmaster\fR
.sp
Include the
\fBCHANGE MASTER\fR

To include the replication user in the
\fBCHANGE MASTER\fR
statement, use the
\fB\-\-rpl\-user\fR
option to specify the user and password\&. If this option is omitted, the utility attempts to identify the replication user\&. In the event that there are multiple candidates or the user requires a password, these statements are placed inside comments for the
\fBCHANGE MASTER\fR
statement\&.
.PP
You can also use the
\fB\-\-comment\-rpl\fR
option to place the replication statements inside comments for later examination\&.
.PP
If you specify the
\fB\-\-rpl\-file\fR
option, the utility writes the replication statements to the file specified instead of including them in the export stream\&.
.PP
If you attempt to export databases on a server with GTIDs enabled (GTID_MODE = ON), a warning will be generated if the export does not include all databases\&. This is because the GTID statements generated include the GTIDs for all databases and not only those databases in the export\&.
.PP
The utility will also generate a warning if you export databases on a GTID enabled server but use the
\fB\-\-skip\-gtid \fR
option\&.
.PP
To make the most use of GTIDs and export/import, you should export all of the databases on the server with the
\fB\-\-all\fR
option\&. This will generate an export file with all of the databases and the GTIDs executed to that point\&.
.PP
Importing this file on another server will ensure that server has all of the data as well as all of the GTIDs recorded correctly in its logs\&.

      NOTES
.PP
You must provide connection parameters (user, host, password, and so forth) for an account that has the appropriate privileges to access all objects in the operation\&.
.PP
To export all objects from a source database, the user must have these privileges:
\fBSELECT\fR
and
\fBSHOW VIEW\fR
on the database as well as
\fBSELECT\fR
on the
mysql
database\&.
.PP
Actual privileges needed may differ from installation to installation depending on the security privileges present and whether the database contains certain objects such as views or events\&.
.PP
Some combinations of the options may result in errors when the export is imported later\&. For example, eliminating tables but not views may result in an error when a view is imported on another server\&.
.PP
For the
\fB\-\-format\fR,
\fB\-\-export\fR, and
\fB\-\-display\fR
options, the permitted values are not case sensitive\&. In addition, values may be specified as any unambiguous prefix of a valid value\&. For example,
\fB\-\-format=g\fR
specifies the grid format\&. An error occurs if a prefix matches more than one valid value\&.
.PP
The path to the MySQL client tools should be included in the PATH environment variable in order to use the authentication mechanism with login\-paths\&. This will allow the utility to use the my_print_defaults tools which is required to read the login\-path values from the login configuration file (\&.mylogin\&.cnf)\&.
.PP
If any database identifier specified as an argument contains special characters or is a reserved word, then it must be appropriately quoted with backticks (\fB`\fR)\&. In turn, names quoted with backticks must also be quoted with single or double quotes depending on the operating system, i\&.e\&. (\fB"\fR) in Windows or (\fB\*(Aq\fR) in non\-Windows systems, in order for the utilities to read backtick quoted identifiers as a single argument\&. For example, to export a database with the name
\fBweird`db\&.name\fR, it must be specified as argument using the following syntax (in non\-Windows):
\fB\*(Aq`weird``db\&.name`\*(Aq\fR\&.
