I have a local installation of MariaDB on a Windows XP.
I created an empty database db_y
which I wanted to populate with the tables of the database db_x
which I exported as a dump-file from a MySQL-instance (with HeidiSQL).
When I imported the dump-file db_x.sql into the the MariaDB instance:
c:\ > mysql -u root -h localhost -p db_y < "X:/archive/db_x.sql"
I got the following:
- MariaDB-inst
+db_x
+db_y
db_y
remains empty and db_x
from the dump-file was added (db_x is the database name of the original database I exported).
What I have to do to get the desired database name?
I thought I could change the database name in the db_x.sql file but I didn't want to open such a large file.
Can I change the import command above in such a way that it change the database name?
I'm also interested in this kind of solution:
CREATE DATABASE y FROM DATABASE x
Is something like this possible?
In the net I find the solution RENAME DATABASE which was not recommended and ALTER DATABASE db_x UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME
but sincerely, I preferred to create a new database with the new name.
Thanks for any help.
