Great, just discovered how easy it is to break things with mysql views and stored functions. It turns out that to create a view after a dump, mysql must create table temporarily for each view, then one by one drop the tables and create views in their place. \u00a0This presents two potential problems. 1. It’s possible to have a view with more columns than you have in a table. 2. Views can use stored functions to modify results but stored functions aren’t a part of the mysql dump process until after the view have been defined.<\/p>\n
The solution to the problem may be: Create the database, Create all the stored procedures and functions, create the tables and views from mysqldump –no-data. Reload all the data. It’s not. It looks like the only way to do this is to use information schema to make a list of tables to dump. Follow this up with routines, and then follow this up with views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
