Mysqldump: Restore a single backuped table to the original DB

Question

I am trying to backup a specific table using mysqldump. I do so with this batch commandline:

mysqldump.exe --host=<IP> --user=<USER> --password=<PASSWORD> --port=<PORT> <DB_NAME> <TABLE_NAME> > backup.sql

What I receive in the resulted file are such commands:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `<TABLE_NAME>`;
CREATE TABLE `<TABLE_NAME>` (...)

The problem is, in this scenario the table will be created in the default DB and not necessarily in the one I intended. I would like to have something like this:

USE <DB_NAME>;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `<TABLE_NAME>`;
CREATE TABLE `<TABLE_NAME>` (...)

How could I create that using Mysqldump?

Answer 1

You don't need this. When you restore the dump you use mysql (not mysqldump) and therefor you give the database as argument like you did when using the dump.

mysql -uuser -ppassword -hhost databsename < yourdumpfilename
