MYSQl dump single table from huge file

How do I dump single table dat开发者_开发问答a from a huge dump file into the database.

If I understand your question correctly - you already have a dump file of many tables and you only need the restore one table (right?).

I think the only way to do that is to actually restore the whole file into a new DB, then copy the data from the new DB to the existing one, OR dump only the table you just restored from the new DB using:

mysqldump -u username -p db_name table_name > dump.sql

And restore it again wherever you need it.

To make things a little quicker and save some disk, you can kill the first restore operation after the desired table was completely restored, so I hope the table name begins with one of the first letters of the alphabet :)
