Export dump file from MySql

I want to create a dump file of a table in the database. So database --> king, tablename --> castle So what I want to do is create a dump file.. and then the next part is to import it in my local host. database name --> king_local. Any ideas on how to go about this!! Thanks

Solution

  • To export:

     mysqldump -u mysql_user -p DATABASE_NAME > backup.sql

    To import (note not mysqldump but mysql:

     mysql -u mysql_user -p DATABASE_NAME < backup.sql
