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

Command Line

Import / Export for single table:

Exporting table schema

 -> mysqldump -u your_user_name -p your_database_name table_name > test.sql

This will create a file named test.sql and creates table sql command to create table table_name.

Importing data into table

 -> mysql -u your_user_name -p database_name table_name < test.sql

Make sure your test.sql file is in the same directory, if not navigate through the path and then run the command.
