I was using mysqldump to export the database, like this:
mysqldump -u root -ppassword my_database > c:\\temp\\my_database.sql
Somehow, it on
Quoting this link: http://steveswanson.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/exporting-and-importing-an-individual-mysql-table/
To export the table run the following command from the command line:
mysqldump -p --user=username dbname tableName > tableName.sql
This will export the tableName to the file tableName.sql.
To import the table run the following command from the command line:
mysql -u username -p -D dbname < tableName.sql
The path to the tableName.sql needs to be prepended with the absolute path to that file. At this point the table will be imported into the DB.
