Re: Missing table rows when importing a MySQL 5.7.8 database into MariaDB 10.4.8 database

 

H Andrei,


Thanks for the reply. To answer your question when I import the *my_dump.sql* (yes it does contain all 600 rows in that dump file) into a database on the MySQL server (which uses *utf8* charset) then all works fine. All 600 rows are imported.


But when I used that same *my_dump.sql* file to import into a server running MariaDB then only 29 rows get imported. The MariaDB server is has *latin1* as the default character set. So I tried to do an alter command on the specific database in question to change it's character set to *utf8*. When that did not work I dropped the database all together and re-created it using the *utf8* database and that still did not work.


I run all the commands on the MariaDB server because I wanted to make sure the version of *msyql* or *mysqldump* was not the issue. Which it does not seem to be the issue since I can export and import remotely to the MySQL server just fine (from the MariaDB server)

     10.4.8 database, at least one (maybe more) of the imported tables is missing rows. This is a
     WordPress database and the table in question is the wp_options table. I'm only getting 29 rows
     imported when there should be over 600 (in the original MySQL database).
Noted, 29 not 600.

I'm using the mysqldump and mysql utilities located on the MariaDB server: mysqldump  Ver 10.17 Distrib 10.4.8-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64)
     mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.4.8-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

     My steps as performed on the MariaDB server (the server I'm importing to).
1. mysqldump -u username -pPassword -h remote_mysql_server database_name > wp_backup.sql 2. mysql -u username -pPassword -h localhost database_name < wp_backup.sql

     When I run mysql (on the local MariaDB server) and import the wp_backup.sql to the
     remote_mysql_server everything works fine and all rows are importing into a test database out
     there:
mysql -u username -pPassword -h remote_mysql_server database_name < wp_backup.sql So the above works
I am guessing it's 29 in 'all' of 'all rows are imported'.
Does
   wp_backup.sql
actually have *all*  600?
