How to import a single table in to mysql database using command line

Question

I had successfully imported a database using command line, but now my pain area is how to import a single table with its data to the existing database using command line.

Answer 1

All of these options are fine, if you have the option to re-export the data.

But if you need to use an existing SQL file, and use a specific table from it, then this perl script in the TimeSheet blog, with enable you to extract the table to a separate SQL file, and then import it.

The original link is dead, so it is a good thing that someone has put it instead of the author, Jared Cheney, on GitHub, in this link.
