I’m regularly running mysqldump against a Drupal database and man, those cache tables can get huge. Considering that the first thing I do after reloading the data is clear the cache, I’d love it if I could just skip dumping all those rows altogether. I don’t want to skip the table creation (with –ignore-tables), I just want to skip all those rows of cached data.
Is it possible to tell mysqldump to dump the CREATE TABLE statement skip the INSERT statements for a specific set of tables?
You have to call
mysqldumptwice.The mysql-stripped-dump script does exactly this.
