RE: WANTED: Utility to reverse engineer existing database II

[Jay Fesco]

...Some of my tables have thousands of records and I may only want the first
200 or so.  I did not see
an option on mysqldump that would limit the number of records.  Any ideas
without writing a program?

Try the WhereClause option in mysqldump.

Syntax is:

-w 'where_clause'
    -or-
--where='where_clause'.

Of course, 'where_clause' would be something like 'id<200' or whatever's
appropriate.

It's on page 620 of 'MySQL' by Paul DuBois (New Riders).  Invaluable book,
btw.
