Restore MySQL Database Without SQL Dump

Today in this article “Restore MySQL Database Without SQL Dump” we will discuss how you can restore your database when you don’t have SQL dump file.

This happens when your MYSQL gets corrupted. In that case, if you want to make a back up of your database you can simply copy following files and then restore them after a fresh installation

Let’s Start

Generally MySQL gets installed on following location
/var/lib/mysql

On this location it create folders of your databases. For instance, if you have databases like test, test1, test2

Then on this location /var/lib/mysql – You will have three folders test, test1, test2.

And each of these folders will contain database files for the MyISAM database.

It will have three main files with the following extensions

  • frm
  • myi
  • myd

And another three files which will be inside in /var/lib/mysql. These files are for INNO DB database.

  • ibdata1
  • ib_logfile0
  • ib_logfile1

Steps:

  • Stop Mysql Service using – sudo service mysqld stop
  • Copy folder to /var/lib/mysql using – sudo cp -R test /var/lib/mysql
  • Copy inno db files using – sudo cp ibdata1 ib_logfile0 ib_logfile1 /var/lib/mysql
  • Make sure ownership is set to mysql. Check ownership using.
    sudo ls -al
  • Set Ownership using following syntax
    For Files – sudo chown user:group files
    Ex: sudo chown mysql:mysql ibdata1 ib_logfile0 ib_logfile1

    For Folders – sudo chown -R user:group folder name
    Ex: sudo chown -R mysql:mysql test
  • Start Mysql Service – sudo service mysqld start
  • Now you will able to see your databases. 🙂

Note:

For Centos and Fedora Based OS
sudo service mysqld stop
sudo service mysqld start

For Debian and Ubuntu OS
sudo service mysql stop
sudo service mysql start

Automation - Update Naukri Profile Using Selenium

As some people says updating profile in the morning gives you more calls as it keeps the newly updated profile on top (Although i don’t know whether naukri works this way or not 😀 ). As i was more interested to solve his problem.  After listening his problem i came to solution that instead of updating it manually lets make this job automatic. And it is quite interesting how we can automate our daily boring task with automation. Another day i came with the solution . And the solution was to make it automatic using selenium (Those who are not aware about selenium do check this link) In short, Selenium is a Testing automation Framework.
