I think you need the -T option, which will break out table data to separate files. Here's a description from the manual:
<QUOTE> -T, --tab=path-to-some-directory Creates a table_name.sql file, that contains the SQL CREATE commands, and a table_name.txt file, that contains the data, for each give table. The format of the `.txt' file is made according to the --fields-xxx and --lines--xxx options. Note: This option only works if mysqldump is run on the same machine as the mysqld daemon, and the user/group that mysqld is running as (normally user mysql, group mysql) needs to have permission to create/write a file at the location you specify. </QUOTE> You will also want to look at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqldump.html Regards, Mike Hillyer www.vbmysql.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 1:57 AM > To: MySql > Subject: Dumping data > > > Hi all, > > Is there any way to do a mysql dump in which each table is > dumped into a > separate file.
