After I wrote the post: How do I dump all tables in a database into separate files? I got emails from couple people asking how to import the individual table files back in to MySQL. First way to import each sql file created by the post is to import each file individually by typing:mysql db_name < table1.sql This will work as long as you are only importing few files. But if you need to import all of the files in the directory, which could be in 100’s, this method does not scale well. To achieve this I wrote a shell script which does the work for me. Of course, there are other ways to do this and I am only showing you one way of doing it. This works for me so here it is:
#!/bin/bash
db=$1
if [ "$db" = "" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 db_name"
exit 1
fi
mkdir done
clear
for sql_file in *.sql; do
echo "Importing $sql_file";
mysql $db< $sql_file;
mv $sql_file done;
done

Why not just do…
cat *.sql |mysql db_name
Initially, that is what I did. But somewhere along the line, my import failed. I had no idea where it failed and had to start importing from the beginning. Using the script gives me status and makes it easy for me continue where ever mysql import breaks/stops.
Is there any way to dumping selected rows only from a table.
I have a table with 70000 rows, and I want to dump about 6000 rows which meets certain criteria.
it should be some thing like where in
field = x1
field = x3
field = x4
….
I just do not know whole syntax.
Thanks
