Answer 1

if you check at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqldump.html you will find –where option which is the one you need.

Below follows what is stated in that reference:

--where='where_condition', -w 'where_condition'

Dump only rows selected by the given WHERE condition. Quotes around the condition are mandatory if it contains spaces or other characters that are special to your command interpreter.

Examples:

--where="user='jimf'"
-w"userid>1"
-w"userid<1"
