hello there.. mysqldump has a option called --opt that dump your data in that way. This is the default option for new versions of mysqldump. --opt is the equivalent of typing --add-drop-table, add-locks, --create-options, --quick, --extended-insert, --lock-tables, --set-charset and --disable-keys.
The --extended-insert option is responsible for the behavior you´re getting in inserts statement. To avoid the --opt option use --skip-opt option and inform other options separately... good luck!!!

When performing "mysqldump" is there any way to ensure that each record gets an INSERT of it's own? I keep getting the following: INSERT INTO 'mytable' (1,'test item'), (2,'test item'), (3,'test item'), (4,'test item'), (5,'test item'); but I'd rather have INSERT INTO 'mytable' (1,'test item'); INSERT INTO 'mytable' (2,'test item'); INSERT INTO 'mytable' (3,'test item'); INSERT INTO 'mytable' (4,'test item'); INSERT INTO 'mytable' (5,'test item'); because I'm doing my own line diff between files and it's much easier for me to have the items on individual lines. Any assistance would be appreciated.
