MySQL Restore to another DB

In order to restore a MySQL database to another database, use routines and triggers.

mysqldump -p user -p --routines --triggers db1 > db1.sql

To restore to another database, just use the normal command.

mysql -u user -p db2 < db1.sql

MySQL SSL Connection

The standard way to connect to MySQL is:

mysql -h hostname -u user -p

Here’s how to connect to MySQL with SSL encryption.

mysql -h hostname -u user -p \
--ssl-ca=server-ca.pem \
--ssl-cert=client-cert.pem \
--ssl-key=client-key.pem

Generate the SSL keys from the MySQL server. Download it to the client.
