如何将数据库转储到远程服务器？

Question

I'm trying to push my database to a remote mysql database hosted on ClearDB.

I'm using the command

 mysql -u username@us-cdbr-east-*** -pmypwd dbname < mydb.sql

I'm getting the error

 Access denied for user 'bbea98e4ba67c1@us-cdbr-east-**@localhost (using password YES)

Am i using the correct syntax ? I tried importing the same sql file to a local database and it happened smoothly.

DO i need to GRANT some proviledges to this remote database on heroku ? If yes then how should i do it ?

Answer 1

you should have privileges set on the database to be accessed from the remote host where you are trying to read in the dump. When creating access for a username you always specify a corresponding host. This could be % for any host... In that case you don't have to do anything. Sometimes it is set to a specific host, in which case you need to add a privilege for the same username but with a different host being the remote host.

Also you need the correct syntax would be:

 mysql -u username -h us-cdbr-east-*** -pmypwd dbname < mydb.sql

notice the -h switch
