mysqldump table without dumping the primary key

Question

I have one table spread across two servers running MySql 4. I need to merge these into one server for our test environment.

These tables literally have millions of r

Answer 1

I like the temporary table route.

create temporary table my_table_copy
select * from my_table;

alter table my_table_copy drop id;

// Use your favorite dumping method for the temporary table

Like the others, this isn't a one-size-fits-all solution (especially given OP's millions of rows) but even at 10^6 rows it takes several seconds to run but works.
