分割.sql备份文件

Question

I download backup of my database every week from my hosting. It generates a .sql file that currently has approximately 800mb. This .sql file contains 44 tables.

Is there any way, through some software that I can split the .sql file with all the tables, in order to individually export each table?

So, if I had to reset the backup at some point, I would do it by table, and I would not have to do to the entire database.

Answer 1

I wouldn't split it after, if you have server access yourself over ssh you could (and in my eyes should) do something like this :

for table in `mysql -u [USER] -p[PASSWORD] -N -B -e 'show tables from [DATABASE]'`;
do
    mysqldump --skip-comments --compact -u [USER] -p[PASSWORD] [DATABASE] $table  > $table.sql 
    && tar -czvf $table.tar.gz $table && rm $table.sql
done;

Which should generate one file per table. Then just .gz whatever directory you put the files in and you should have your backup in the way you want it.
