Mysqldump and mysqlimport utilities
I would like to copy a database with multiple tables to a database with ANOTHER name on the same host, localhost. This is to create a development enviornment with realistic data but have freedom to change most anything and not mess up the read data.

I think I got all the data out with:
mysqldump databases OldDbName > Olddb200805.sql

Can I import the tables, data, etc into NewDbName with:
mysqlimport NewDbName Olddb200805.sql

I am concerned that these utilities will work for backing-up a database and restoring the database, tables, and data but only to a database with the same name. I have read the manual for these utilities but it is not clear to me what "db_name" means in mysqlimport.

Thanks, John

Another trick, you can use mysqldump to copy database structure from one db or server to another
(it works for structures and, with the correct options, for data too)
