how to mysqldump remote db from local machine
One can invoke mysqldump locally against a remote server.
Example that worked for me:
mysqldump -h hostname-of-the-server -u mysql_user -p database_name > file.sql
I followed the mysqldump documentation on connection options.
As I haven't seen it at serverfault yet, and the answer is quite simple:
Change:
ssh -f -L3310:remote.server:3306 [email protected] -N
To:
ssh -f -L3310:localhost:3306 [email protected] -N
And change:
mysqldump -P 3310 -h localhost -u mysql_user -p database_name table_name
To:
mysqldump -P 3310 -h 127.0.0.1 -u mysql_user -p database_name table_name
(do not use localhost, it's one of these 'special meaning' nonsense that probably connects by socket rather then by port)
edit: well, to elaborate: if host is set to localhost
, a configured (or default) --socket
option is assumed. See the manual for which option files are sought / used. Under Windows, this can be a named pipe.
