# SQL Dump Splitter # SQL Dump Splitter
## Overview ## Overview
This Python script is designed to split a large SQL dump file into individual files for each database. It's particularly useful for managing and organizing SQL dumps that contain multiple databases. The script reads through the SQL dump, identifies database sections based on a specific pattern, and creates new SQL files named after each database. This project offers tools to split a large SQL dump file into individual files for each database. It includes both a Python script and a Windows batch file to accommodate different user preferences and environments. The tools are designed to efficiently process SQL dumps, identify different databases, and create separate SQL files for each database.
## Features ## Features
- **Multiple Script Options**: Python script for versatility and a Windows batch file for ease of use in Windows environments.
- **Database Identification**: Automatically detects different databases within a SQL dump. - **Database Identification**: Automatically detects different databases within a SQL dump.
- **File Creation**: Generates separate SQL files for each database. - **File Creation**: Generates separate SQL files for each database.
- **Efficiency**: Processes large dump files quickly and accurately. - **User-Friendly**: Easy to use, catering to both Python and non-Python users.
## Getting Started ## Getting Started
### Prerequisites ### Prerequisites
- Python 3.x - Python 3.x (for the Python script)
- Windows OS (for the batch file)
### Installation ### Installation
No additional installation is required for running this script, as it uses standard Python libraries. No additional installation is required for running these scripts, as they use standard libraries and Windows commands.
### Usage ### Usage
1. Place the SQL dump file in the same directory as the script, or specify the path to the file.
2. Run the script using Python:
#### Using the Python Script
1. Place the SQL dump file in the same directory as the script or specify the file path.
2. Run the script using Python:
```bash ```bash
python sql_dump_splitter.py python sql_dump_splitter.py
```
Using the Batch File
Ensure the SQL dump file is in the same directory as the batch file.
The script will create separate SQL files for each database in the dump. Simply double-click the batch file or run it in a command prompt:
```bash
sql_dump_splitter.bat
```
Both scripts will create separate SQL files for each database in the dump.
