mysql dump

[Naufal Sheikh]

Hello every one,

I have two questions actually. If there is a database server with couple of
databases, and we only want to take the dump of few of them, can we specify
a list of those on either mysqldump or mysql prompt ( for any other purpose
).or we have to run the mysqldump command seperately for every database.

e.g. mysqldump --database1 > database1.sql
mysqldump --database2 > database2.sql

or mysqldump --database1 --database2 > database.sql

Second, when I am importing a dump file into another server, if that server
already has thate database, it gives me an error of saying that the
table/column already exists. Is there any switch to over ride that.



I'll appreciate if some can please help me on above!

Thanks
Naufal
