ok, say you have two dbs very similar in structure. one you use as a master template which goes through various revisions, let’s say we’re now on revision 3. but the second db is a copy of the template as it was at revision 1.

because db 2 is in use, you don’t want to drop any tables, but you do need to update the structure of the entire db to the latest version of db 1.

is there any method of doing this without having to manually go through and make all the same changes again and again (over many dbs at various versions) and without losing any of the data?

–
–Use this to take only the Table structure of the database table in Linux –

On the terminal
[root@localhost ~]# mysqldump -uroot -proot123 -h200.200.200.12 mydatabasename tbl_mytable_name –no-data > /tmp/tbl_mytable_name_dump.sql

Remember , if u dont redirect it to a file, it will stores the dump at pwd by the name “oot”
