Features of Load Dump

· You can customize the import with further options in the dump loading utility:

· You can select individual tables or schemas to import or to exclude from the import.

· Users and their roles and grants are excluded by default, but you can choose to import them.

· You can choose to skip binary logging on the target MySQL instance during the course of the import using a SET sql_log_bin=0 statement.

· You can carry out a dry run with your chosen set of dump loading options to show what actions would be performed when you run the utility for real with those options.

Load Dump Examples

util.loadDump("/opt/packages/OnpremisesInstanc/", {dryRun: true})

Prerequisite

'local_infile' global system variable must be set to ON

FIX:- MySQL localhost:33060+ ssl JS > \sql set global local_infile=1;

Run the Load Dump Commands

MySQL localhost:33060+ ssl JS > util.loadDump("/opt/packages/OnpremisesInstanc/",{excludeSchemas:['sakila','sales']})

Conclusion

Shell makes MySQL easier to use, by providing an interactive MySQL client supporting SQL, Document Store, JavaScript & Python interface with support for writing custom extensions.

And with dumpInstance(), dumpSchemas() and loadDump() Shell now provides powerful logical dump and load functionality.
