Can I get a dump of all my databases *except one* using mysqldump?
- by Daniel Magliola
I'm currently using mySQLdump to backup my dev machine and servers.
There is one project I just started, however, that has a HUUUUUGE database that I don't really need backed up, and i'll be a big problem to add it to the rest of the backup cycle.
I'm currently doing this:
"c:\Program Files\mysql\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqldump" -u root -pxxxxxx --all-databases g:\backups\MySQL\mysqlbackup.sql
Is it possible to somehow specify "except this database(s)"?
I wouldn't like to have to specify the list of DBs manually, since that would mean that I'd have to remember updating my backup batch file every time I create a new DB, and I know that's not gonna happen.
EDIT: As you probably guessed from my command line above, i'm doing this on Windows, so I can't do any kind of fancy bash stuff, only wimpy .bat things.
Alternatively, if you have other ideas to solve this same issue, they are more than welcome, of course!
Thanks
Daniel
