Using SSH can be a superior way to manage the files and databases on your account. Using a simple command you can import or export a MySQL database into an existing database on your account.<\/p>

Please note that in the examples below the\u00a0-p<\/strong>\u00a0will prompt for your account\u2019s password. And that your database name needs to include your username, e.g.\u00a0examplec_<\/strong>database.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This example shows you how to export a database. It is a good idea to export your data often as a backup.<\/p>

  1. Using SSH<\/strong>, execute the following command:
    mysqldump -p -u username database_name > dbname.sql<\/code> <\/strong><\/pre><\/li>
  2. You will be prompted for a password, type in the password for the username and press Enter<\/strong>. Replace username, password, and database_name with your MySQL username, password, and database name.<\/li><\/ol>
    The file dbname.sql now holds a backup of your database and is ready for download to your computer.<\/p>
    To export a single table from your database you would use the following command:<\/p>
    mysqldump -p --user=username database_name tableName > tableName.sql<\/code><\/strong><\/pre>
    Again you would need to replace the username, database and tableName with the correct information.<\/p>
    Once done the table specified would then be saved to your account as\u00a0tableName.sql<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Import A MySQL Database<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe file must be in .sql format. It cannot be compressed in a .zip or .tar.gz file.\n

    \n
      \n \t
    1. Start by uploading the .sql file<\/strong> onto the server.<\/li>
      \n \t
    2. If you haven\u2019t already done so, create the MySQL database<\/strong> via the cPanel.<\/li>
      \n \t
    3. Using SSH, navigate to the directory where your .sql file is.<\/li>
      \n \t
    4. Next, run this command:\n
       mysql -p -u username database_name < file.sql <\/code><\/strong><\/pre><\/li>\n\n\n \t
    5. Lastly, to import a single table into an existing database you would use the following command:\n
      mysql -u username -p -D database_name < tableName.sql<\/code><\/strong><\/pre><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
