Im preparing a shell script which will take mysql table dump with where clause.
Im passing table name and where condition from a parameter.



Backup command:



mysqldump -u root-p'pass' db blocked_reasons --where=" created_time < DATE(Now() - INTERVAL 2 month)" > test.sql


Run this command with parameters:



tbl="blocked_reasons"
where="--where="""created_time < DATE(Now() - INTERVAL 2 month)""""


verify with echo:



echo " mysqldump -u root -p db $tbl $where > test.sql"
mysqldump -u root-p db blocked_reasons --where="created_time < DATE(Now() - INTERVAL 2 month)" > test.sql


But when I start to execute this command Im getting errors:



mysqldump: Couldn't find table: "<"

    I'd get rid of some of the spacing in your query in the --where clause. Take a look at this for an example: stackoverflow.com/questions/5658284/…

  • Yeah, seems its spacing issue. But its a sting right, how can I add space inside it?

  • I read this on a SO question. Double quotes will corrupt your string.

  • Ah yeah, thatll do it.. I was on the fence about suggesting to swap the double quotes to single quotes originally.

    Never use -p'pass' in your backup scripts. This can be spotted by regular user in /proc/[PID]/cmdline. Instead simply assign your password to MYSQL_PWD variable within script before launching mysqldump
