Options for mysqldump in MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.2

--add-drop-table

Add a DROP TABLE before each create. (Defaults to on; use --skip-add-drop-table to disable.)

--add-locks

Add locks around INSERT statements. (Defaults to on; use --skip-add-locks to disable.)

--all-tablespaces (-Y)

Dump all the tablespaces.

--apply-slave-statements

Adds 'STOP SLAVE' prior to 'CHANGE MASTER' and 'START SLAVE' to bottom of dump.

--comments (-i)

Write additional information. (Defaults to on; use --skip-comments to disable.)

--compatible

Change the dump to be compatible with a given mode. By default tables are dumped in a format optimized for MySQL. Legal modes are: ansi, mysql323, mysql40, postgresql, oracle, mssql, db2, maxdb, no_key_options, no_table_options, no_field_options. One can use several modes separated by commas. Note: Requires MySQL server version 4.1.0 or higher. This option is ignored with earlier server versions.

--compress (-C)

Use compression in server/client protocol.

--create-options (-a)

Include all MySQL specific create options. (Defaults to on; use --skip-create-options to disable.)

--debug (-#)

This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit.

--debug-info

Print some debug info at exit.

--default-character-set

Set the default character set.

--defaults-file

Only read default options from the given file #.

--delayed-insert

Insert rows with INSERT DELAYED.

--disable-keys (-K)

'/*!40000 ALTER TABLE tb_name DISABLE KEYS */; and '/*!40000 ALTER TABLE tb_name ENABLE KEYS */; will be put in the output. (Defaults to on; use --skip-disable-keys to disable.)

--dump-slave

This causes the binary log position and filename of the master to be appended to the dumped data output. Setting the value to 1, will printit as a CHANGE MASTER command in the dumped data output; if equal to 2, that command will be prefixed with a comment symbol. This option will turn --lock-all-tables on, unless --single-transaction is specified too (in which case a global read lock is only taken a short time at the beginning of the dump - don't forget to read about --single-transaction below). In all cases any action on logs will happen at the exact moment of the dump.Option automatically turns --lock-tables off.

--extended-insert (-e)

Use multiple-row INSERT syntax that include several VALUES lists. (Defaults to on; use --skip-extended-insert to disable.)

--fields-escaped-by

Fields in the output file are escaped by the given character.

--fields-terminated-by

Fields in the output file are terminated by the given string.

--flush-privileges

Emit a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement after dumping the mysql database. This option should be used any time the dump contains the mysql database and any other database that depends on the data in the mysql database for proper restore.

--gtid

Used together with --master-data=1 or --dump-slave=1.When enabled, the output from those options will set the GTID position instead of the binlog file and offset; the file/offset will appear only as a comment. When disabled, the GTID position will still appear in the output, but only commented.

--hex-blob

Dump binary strings (BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB) in hexadecimal format.

--ignore-table

Do not dump the specified table. To specify more than one table to ignore, use the directive multiple times, once for each table. Each table must be specified with both database and table names, e.g., --ignore-table=database.table.

--include-master-host-port

Adds 'MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>' to 'CHANGE MASTER TO..' in dump produced with --dump-slave.

--lines-terminated-by

Lines in the output file are terminated by the given string.

--lock-tables (-l)

Lock all tables for read. (Defaults to on; use --skip-lock-tables to disable.)

--log-queries

When restoring the dump, the server will, if logging turned on, log the queries to the general and slow query log. (Defaults to on; use --skip-log-queries to disable.)

--max-allowed-packet

The maximum packet length to send to or receive from server.

--no-autocommit

Wrap tables with autocommit/commit statements.

--no-create-info (-t)

Don't write table creation info.

--no-data-med

No row information for engines that Manage External Data (MRG_MyISAM, MRG_ISAM, CONNECT, OQGRAPH, SPIDER, VP, FEDERATED). (Defaults to on; use --skip-no-data-med to disable.)

--no-set-names (-N)

Same as --skip-set-charset.

--opt

Same as --add-drop-table, --add-locks, --create-options, --quick, --extended-insert, --lock-tables, --set-charset, and --disable-keys. Enabled by default, disable with --skip-opt.

--password (-p)

Password to use when connecting to server. If password is not given it's solicited on the tty.

--port (-P)

Port number to use for connection.

--protocol

The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe, memory).

--quote-names (-Q)

Quote table and column names with backticks (`). (Defaults to on; use --skip-quote-names to disable.)

--result-file (-r)

Direct output to a given file. This option should be used in systems (e.g., DOS, Windows) that use carriage-return linefeed pairs (\r\n) to separate text lines. This option ensures that only a single newline is used.

--set-charset

Add 'SET NAMES default_character_set' to the output. (Defaults to on; use --skip-set-charset to disable.)

--skip-opt

Disable --opt. Disables --add-drop-table, --add-locks, --create-options, --quick, --extended-insert, --lock-tables, --set-charset, and --disable-keys.

--ssl

Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with other flags).

--ssl-capath

CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).

--ssl-cipher

SSL cipher to use (implies --ssl).

--ssl-crlpath

Certificate revocation list path (implies --ssl).

--ssl-verify-server-cert

Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against hostname used when connecting. This option is disabled by default.

--tab (-T)

Create tab-separated textfile for each table to given path. (Create .sql and .txt files.) NOTE: This only works if mysqldump is run on the same machine as the mysqld server.

--triggers

Dump triggers for each dumped table. (Defaults to on; use --skip-triggers to disable.)

--user (-u)

User for login if not current user.

--version (-V)
