To import\/export a MySQL\/MariaDB database, you will need access to a\u00a0 server with MySQL\/MariaDB, database name and user credentials for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Export the database<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0mysqldump<\/strong> client utility performs logical backups, producing a set of SQL statements that can be executed to reproduce the original database object definitions and table data.<\/span><\/p>\n

#\u00a0 mysqldump -u username<\/span> -p database_name<\/span> > dump_name.sql<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It will export database to SQL text files.<\/span><\/p>\n

Import the database<\/span><\/p>\n

To import a dump, you need to create a new database.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

– log in as root or another user.<\/span><\/p>\n

# mysql -u root<\/span> -p<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

– create a new database.<\/span><\/p>\n

# mysql > CREATE DATABASE new_database<\/span>;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

– exit the shell by pressing CTRL+D<\/span>
\n– import the dump<\/span><\/p>\n

#\u00a0 mysql -u username<\/span> -p database_name<\/span> < dump_name.sql<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If the import runs successfully, you won’t get any output. If any errors occur during the process, MySQL will print them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
