Chapter 4. Importing and Exporting Data
In the previous chapters, we learned how to install MariaDB, create our databases and tables, and how to work with our data. Even if we're yet to learn many of the interesting features of MariaDB, we are now ready to use it for our day-to-day work. However, there is still something that we definitely need to know: how to import and export data. We will learn this topic in the present chapter.
In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:
- The basics of importing and exporting data
- Creating and importing CSV files
- Creating and running a dump file
- Making the restore of a database faster
