MySQL Data Dumper

restore single table

Asked by Andy

Docs only seem to cover restoring an entire database dump. I'm backing up all my databases to a single folder. How can I restore a single table from the mydumper backup using myloader? Or do I just have to load it up using mysql?

thanks

mydumper was originally designed to be loaded directly using mysql -
you probably won't need myloader then.

Well, mydumper stores each table in two files: schema and data.
First files defines table structure and second inserts data to it.

So you can just truncate you table and source data file to get data back. Or, it you have dropped table source schema file then data file. Uncompress them first if they are compressed, run mysql console and execute "source /path/to file;"

Can you help with this problem?
