Xiaobo, Using mysqldump, you can specify which tables to copy. The man for mysqldump is as such: mysqldump [options] [dbname [tablename....]]
Say db 'db' has tables x, y, and z in it. You only want to copy table x. mysqldump db x > x.sql(or whatever you want to name it). Dan Thank you Shawn. What I originally thought is that if there is any command like 'sqldump' to copy a few tables of a database.
