The solution for data importing from one distributed database to another is special. mysqldump is used as an example below to summarize the importing steps:

1. Install mysqldump (for MariaDB)

Purchase a Linux CVM instance and run yum install mariadb-server to install mysqldump.

2. Export the table structure

mysqldump --compact --single-transaction -d -uxxx -pxxx  -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Pxxxx  db_name table_name   >  schema.sql

Note：

Please select the db_name and table_name parameters as needed.

3. Export data

Export data by using mysqldump:
Set the net_write_timeout parameter in the parameter settings in the TDSQL for MySQL Console: set global net_write_timeout=28800

mysqldump --compact --single-transaction --no-create-info -c -uxxx  -pxxx -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Pxxxx db_name table_name  > data.sql

Note：

The db_name and table_name parameters should be selected as needed. If the exported data is to be imported into another set of TDSQL for MySQL environment, the -c option must be added, and there should be a space between -c and db_name.

4. Create a database in the target instance

mysql --default-character-set=utf8 -uxxx -pxxx -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Pxxxx -e "create database dbname;";

• --default-character-set=utf8: set based on your target table.
• -uxxx: a privileged account (-u is a keyword).
• -pxxx: password (-p is a keyword).
• -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Pxxxx: IP and port of the database instance.
• dbname: database name.

5. Import the table structure into the target instance

mysql --default-character-set=utf8 -uxxx -pxxx -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Pxxxx dbname < schema.sql

• --default-character-set=utf8: set based on your target table.
• -uxxx: a privileged account (-u is a keyword).
• -pxxx: password (-p is a keyword).
• -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Pxxxx: IP and port of the database instance.
• dbname: database name.

6. Import table data into the target instance

mysql --default-character-set=utf8 -uxxx -pxxx -hxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -Pxxxx dbname < data.sql

Note：

If an auto-increment field is used in the source table, and the "Column 'xx' specified twice" error occurs during import, the schema.sql needs to be processed.
Remove the back quotes from the auto-increment field (cat schema.sql | tr "" " " > schema_tr.sql), drop database, and repeat steps 3–5 by using the processedschema_tr.sql`.
