Virtual host MySQL database backup

Friends who are proficient in operating mysql database virtual hosts know that the MYSQL backup PHP script is only suitable for virtual host users who do not have MySQL Shell permissions. How to back up and restore virtual host users who have MySQL Shell permissions? Today, the editor is Let’s explain the more common backup and restore methods of virtual host MySQL database.

1. About backup:

When we use MySQL, we generally use MyISAM type tables. This type of table is saved in the file system in the form of a file; while HEAP type tables are saved in memory. The following method is for MyISAM tables.

1.1. Directly copy the database file. First of all, this method is not recommended, because the copied data table is specific to a specific operating system (hardware environment), and moving it to other systems may cause problems. Secondly, when backing up, you need to stop the MYSQL server or lock the corresponding table. Otherwise, if the database happens to be inserted/rewritten during the copy process, it will hang. This is not suitable for servers that require uninterrupted operations. The biggest advantage of this method is that it is convenient and fast. When backing up, you only need to copy all the files in the corresponding database folder of the MYSQL data directory. *.frm describes the structure of the table, *.MYD saves the data records of the table, and *. MYI is the index of the table.

1.2. Use the MySQLDump tool: You can use this program to export the database into a text file in the form of SQL statements, which is convenient for moving to different systems. During restoration, the SQL statements in the file will be executed one by one to rebuild the database. In actual use, enter the command in CMD under WINDOWS or Linux Shell:

mysqldump-u user_name -p database_name --option > path:/xxx.sql; press Enter; user_name is the user name; database_name is the database name; path:/xxx.sql is the path and file name to save the backup file.

Then enter the password and the database will be exported to the .sql file under the specified PATH. Make sure that the user has sufficient permissions to access the corresponding database. --option are some parameters that can be specified during backup. You can refer to the MYSQL official documentation. There are several commonly used options:

--opt——A set of commonly used default options, including --add-drop-table --add-locks --create-options --disable-keys --extended-insert --lock-tables --quick --set -charset

--add-drop-table - DROP the old table first when creating the table, suitable for overwriting the database

--where——Back up some records according to conditions, for example: --where="id<1000'"

The mysqldump tool has quite a lot of parameter functions and needs to be carefully studied.
