Load Data from MySQL

Using mysqldump to load data from MySQL into Databend.

Before you begin​

  • MySQL client and mysqldump
  • Databend: You will connect to the database and table using MySQL client, please see How to deploy Databend.

Part 1: Dump MySQL table schema and data to file​

Dump book_db.books table schema and datas
mysqldump --single-transaction --compact -uroot -proot book_db books > dumpbooks.sql
tip

mysqldump Options: --single-transaction --compact

The dumpbooks.sql looks like:

dumpbooks.sql
CREATE TABLE `books` (
  title varchar(255),
  author varchar(255),
  date varchar(255) 
);
INSERT INTO `books` VALUES ('Transaction Processing','Jim Gray','1992'),('Readings in Database Systems','Michael Stonebraker','2004');
... [snip] ...
INSERT INTO `books` VALUES ('Transaction Processing','Jim Gray','1992'),('Readings in Database Systems','Michael Stonebraker','2004');

Part 2: Load data into Databend from the sql file​

mysql -uroot -h127.0.0.1 -proot -P3307 < dumpbook.sql

All tables and data from users will now be loaded into Databend.
