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

If you're in the pwd of an SQL dump and you need a table from that, do this:

sed -n '/-- Table structure for table `'TableNameTo_GrabHere'`/,/-- Table/{ /^--.*$/d;p }' dump_file_to_extract_from.sql > table_name_here.sql

Then just import the table you extracted from the above into the needed database
