When using MySQL, I always use a .my.cnf file to store my password so that I can switch to 'root' on the host, and execute whatever commands I need.

== Backup One-liner ==
 
For times when you need to enter a password
 
<source lang="bash">
 
db=MYDATABASE;
 
mysqldump -u db_user $db -p > ./tmp/dump-$(date +%F).$(hostname)-$db.sql
 
</source>
 
 
 
For all databases on a host
 
<source lang="bash">
 
mysql --execute="show databases" | awk '{print $1}' | grep -iv ^Database$ | sed 's/\(.*\)/mysqldump --single-transaction \1 > \1.'$(date +"%Y%m%d")'.sql/'
 
# Then just redo the command piped to sh
 
</source>
 
 
 
One of many ways to dump a database from one machine to another
 
<source lang="bash">
 
sudo mysqldump --single-transaction mydb | gzip -c | ssh ubuntu@10.0.50.53 'cat > /home/ubuntu/mydb.dump.sql.gz'
 
 
</source>

Line 93: Line 17:
 
mysql $DB < $backup
 
mysql $DB < $backup
 
</source>

Using process substitution and <code>zcat</code>, you don't even need to uncompress your gzipped backups first. 
 
<source lang="bash">
 
mysql -p -u db_user db < <(zcat ./scheduled/eQualityTechnology-2015-03-15T23-11-50.mysql.gz)
