How to dump only specific tables from MySQL?

Question

If my database has 10 tables and I want to dump only 3 tables. Is it possible with mysqldump command?

Answer 1

If you're in local machine then use this command

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h127.0.0.1 --port = 3306 -u [username] -p [password] --databases [db_name] --tables [tablename] > /to/path/tablename.sql;

For remote machine, use below one

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h [remoteip] --port = 3306 -u [username] -p [password] --databases [db_name] --tables [tablename] > /to/path/tablename.sql;

Answer 2

Usage: mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]

i.e.

mysqldump -u username -p db_name table1_name table2_name table3_name > dump.sql
