Question

I want to re-dump a MySQL table from a master to its slave.

Can I

1. stop the slave
2. create a dump of the table I want with –single-transaction –master-flag to take note of its log position
3. start the slave, but have it stop once it reaches that log position
4. apply the dump to replace the table
5. start the slave again normally

How can I do step 3?

Answer 1

After you stop your slave, you can specify the positions you want to process up to in your START SLAVE statement. Something like:

START SLAVE UNTIL MASTER_LOG_FILE='xxxxx', MASTER_LOG_POS=yyyyyy;
