Re: Create table if not exists from mysqldump?
Hi, Do u mean when u take a dump you need to add before each table drop table if exists then here is the command. mysqldump -uusername -p -hhostname --add-drop-table databasename tablename test.sql regards, Praveen --- John Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am trying to use mysqldump to dump the structure of a single database and want the output to make create table commands that include the IF NOT EXISTS switch so that when the file is imported into an existing database it does not write over tables with the same name. Does anyone know if this is possible with mysqldump and if so what option achieves this?

You can run mysql with --force option when you restore tables from dump file. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Victoria Reznichenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net ___/ www.mysql.com - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

That only works on creating the database not the table. But since this is only a text file, what you can do is use whatever program you have available and change every occurrence of CREATE TABLE to CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS. If someone sees a reason why this won't work, please let me know. -- Clayburn W.

Create table if not exists from mysqldump?
Thanks for all the responses on how to import a dump file that will not write over existing tables and not stop with an error on existing tables - in other words just add missing tables. As Victoria pointed out, there is no option in mysqldump to add the appropriate create table option [IF NOT EXISTS] but one can add the --force option when importing the dump file back in with mysql. This causes mysql to ignore the error generated when it comes across a table that already exists and it will continue on adding any tables that are missing. Without it, mysql will stop on the first table that already exists with an error. An alternative solution is running a script on the dump file to replace all occurrences of CREATE TABLE with CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS as suggested by Clayburn. Thanks again!

Hi, I am trying to use mysqldump to dump the structure of a single database and want the output to make create table commands that include the IF NOT EXISTS switch so that when the file is imported into an existing database it does not write over tables with the same name. Does anyone know if this is possible with mysqldump and if so what option achieves this?
