I have a MySQL database with some data.
I have to migrate this data between databases with almost the same tables, but different with table and field names.
The data is the same on both databases, only the table names (and some field name/type) change. But they aren’t exactly the same structure.. I removed some fields from tables, and moved fields to another table.
How can I achieve this without making a script to iterate over every record and insert them on the new database? Any tool?
Use mysql_dump to produce a .sql file which has all the queries necessary to recreate a database and its contents. You can then edit this .sql file to change table/field names to reflect the new DB’s setup.
