mysqldump data only

Question

I am looking for the syntax for dumping all data in my mysql database. I don\'t want any table information.

Answer 1

Best to dump to a compressed file

mysqldump --no-create-info -u username -hhostname -p dbname | gzip > /backupsql.gz

and to restore using pv apt-get install pv to monitor progress

pv backupsql.gz | gunzip | mysql -uusername -hhostip -p dbname
