By default, the mysqldump utility, which allows to back a MySQL database, will perform a lock on all tables until the backup is complete.
To dump multiple tables with multiple where conditions. Then, for second table, use ">>". It will append the previous dump file.
We can export or copy data from one table to another table by using insert command. We can also use replace statement to copy data. We will try with insert command first.
The 'mysqldump' command is used to dump databases managed by MySQL. Let's consider three the most useful cases of MySQL database dumping. You can also specify several tables separated by whitespace to dump these tables only.
This should work in a shell:
for x in `mysql --skip-column-names -u [username] -p[password] [dbname] -e 'show tables;'`; do
mysqldump -u [username] -p[password] [db name] $x > "$x.sql"
done
