Re: getting procedure code via mysqldump
Might it not be easier to use something like "show create procedure" instead? Given that the purpose is debugging, I would assume you want the exact text used to create the procedure, not the one with version-specifics removed. You can still pump that into a file by using "mysql -e 'show create procedure procname\G' dbname > outputfile.sql". There will still be a bit of superfluous information as this is an information request, but that should be easily removed with some sed hacking. - Original Message - > From: "Claudio Nanni" > To: "Shawn Green (MySQL)" > Cc: "John G.

Re: getting procedure code via mysqldump
In case you use a linux or unix system, to strip off the comments in linux bash is very easy, you can use this simple bash command: grep -v "^/\*" yourdumpfile.sql > yourdumpfilewithoutcomments.sql this will create a new dump without comments.

The problem is that I'm blind and I have to listen to the code to debug it. I think I have a file containing the code that I used to create the stored procedure but I want to make absolutely sure. This is what I've tried: mysqldump --p --routines --no-create-info --no-data --no-create-db --skip-opt --skip-comments --compatible=ansi --result=routines.sql My problem is that generates a file with a lot of lines I don't understand. for example: /*!50003 CREATE*/ /*!50020 DEFINER=`root`@`localhost`*/ /*!50003 PROCEDURE `TIMETABLE_SYNC`() That appears to be the line to create the stored procedure 'timetable_sync'.

In order for a MySQL server to not ignore the comment, it must be a version equal to or greater than the value tagged in the comment. For example, stored procedures did not exist before version 5.0.3 . So all of the stored procedure will be enclosed with comments that look like /*!50003 */ We enhanced the security of the stored procedures themselves by adding the DEFINER= option to the definition. We did this in version 5.0.20. That is why that part of the stored procedure was dumped using the comment tags /*!50020 */ Unfortunately, I have no way at this time to separate the version-specific comments from the rest of the dump.

Re: getting procedure code via mysqldump
Hi John, The lines you mention are comments , the comments in mysql sql files are enclosed between two delimiters. The first is the sequence /* and the second is the sequence */ , inside the comments you can have a marker constituted by a ! and a number that represents a mysql version. These markers are used to give instructions to specific mysql versions. When a mysql client reads a sql file executes all commands enclosed plus the commented parts that correspond to the server version. Usually you can delete those parts, since in any case they are comments, but you should not need to delete them. I hope I was enough clear, My Android mobile soft keyboard is good, but not so inviting for writing long messages! Claudio On Mar 30, 2011 1:10 AM, "John G.
