I am doing some prototyping and so created a database with a few tables

  • 0

I am doing some prototyping and so created a database with a few tables and dependencies. The project became bigger than I thought and now want to clean up the names, dependencies etc and so want to create the DB anew. But I don’t want to go through the whole process of creating individual tables again, instead I want to start with what I have, clean the creation scripts up and run them if possible. Is there a way I can export all the scripts to create the DB and tables? Are there tools or mysql command line options to do this?

Thanks,

-S

    This can get you started:

    mysqldump -u user -ppassword -h host --no-create-db --no-data [other options] old_database > dump.sql

    then you can edit the dump file for any necessary changes and import back into the new database:

    mysql -u user -ppassword -h host new_database < dump.sql
