Our backups are quick large - over 500 MB. Opening the file and adding the above line at the top takes a lot of CPU time and memory - and when I'm restoring, I don't have a lot of time...If you have problems reloading the table due to the order in which the InnoDB tables appear in the dump files, add
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
to the beginning of the file before reloading it.
Is there an easier way to get it there - can I 'cat' to the beginning of a file, or should I make my backup scripts cat the output of mysqldump to the end of a file with 'set foreign_key_check=0;' at the top? Maybe we could have a switch for mysqldump that does this for us?
