question about restoring...

So, I got a request this morning to recover some specific records for
a client. I just want a handful of records from a couple of tables here.
I have a copy of the INNODB files for these two tables - is there a way
to extract the table contents from these files short of a full import?

thanks,
ansdy

No, you should import the data into another instance of mysql to extract th=
e records.

RE: question about restoring...

That's overkill.

You should be able to import the data into another database within the same
instance, unless the file is too big to handle.

RE: question about restoring...

Then I guess it's a matter of preference. I'd rather edit a text file than
build a new instance of MySQL.

On the other hand, if he has a development environment (as we all, of course,
do) then he could futz around in there.

The way I parse that, you're saying that there is a way to reattach ibd

I have no idea if you can attach the innodb files to another database.

I have to agree, that's quite ambiguous. Andy, is it a copy of the innoDB
datafiles, or a database dump that you have ?

In the latter case, it's reasonably simple to extract what you need; in the
former case you're gonna have to try attaching them to a new instance - good
luck with that.

If you just need specific records, you can use "-w" option of mysql to
extract only the specifc records.
Then you can run the dump file into another db.

Re: question about restoring...

Thanks, guys. I have copies of the innodb files. The boss went whole hog on
using zfs for everything, so backups of files are readily available. Looks
like I'll be having the db reconstituted...

thanks again
