Hello

When I re-insert dumped data with "mysql < file.sql", I can simply put "set foreign_key_checks=0;" at the beginning of the file and this works fine.

How can I achieve this when inserting a text file that is read with mysqlimport?

I tried to put the mentioned sql-statement in the txt-file, but this does not affect anything.

Background:
One of my developers accidently dropped a table yesterday which had to be re-created from a dump. I was sort of lucky as the table was in a not too large database, so I could just open the dumpfile of that database and get the lines I needed to recreate the table and data. If I imagine this happened on a larger database which results in several-GB-size dumpfiles, it would have taken MUCH longer to get that table back. So now I'm playing with "mysqldump --tab" which gives nice per-table data and structure files.

So if there's any other well-known solution for per-table dumpfiles, let me know. I'm not too keen on writing something myself right now.

Thanks for your help.
Dominik
