How do I restore one database from a mysqldump containing multiple databases?

Question

I have a mysql dump with 5 databases and would like to know if there is a way to import just one of those (using mysqldump or other).

Suggestions appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use the mysql command line --one-database option.

mysql> mysql -u root -p --one-database YOURDBNAME < YOURFILE.SQL

Of course be careful when you do this.

You can also use a mysql dumpsplitter.
