Using Git to track mysql schema - some questions

Question

If this is recommended ?

Can I ask some git command examples about how to track versions of mysql schema?

Should we use another repository other then the on

Answer 1

I have found the following options to be mandatory for a version control / git-compatible mysqldump.

mysqldump --skip-opt --skip-comments |sed -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=[ ]*[^*]*\*/\*/'

(and maybe --no-data)

--skip-opt is very useful, it takes away all of --add-drop-table --add-locks --create-options --disable-keys --extended-insert --lock-tables --quick --set-charset. The DEFINER sed is necessary when the database contains triggers.
