DESCRIPTION

dbs_dumptabdata is an utility to create a file set with SQL table data. For each table in the database dbs_dumptabdata calls the appropriate dumper utility with the output directed to a file named table.sql in the current directory. dbs_dumptabdata asks for a password if necessary.

Comma-separated list of tables to dump.

--exclude-matching-tables=REGEXP

Excludes any table matching the regular expression REGEXP from dumping.

--use-printtab
