Sure, you can remove insert data of a specific table from MySQL dump output using the -d option with the mysqldump command. The -d option will suppress the output of the INSERT statements for the specified table.

To remove insert data of a specific table from MySQL dump output, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the MySQL dump file is located.
  3. Type the following command:
mysqldump -d database_name table_name > dump_file.sql

For example, the following command will remove insert data of the products table from the mydb database and save the output to the dump_file.sql file:

mysqldump -d mydb products > dump_file.sql

This will create a new file called dump_file.sql that contains the schema for the products table, but it will not contain any data.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using the -d option:

  • The -d option is case-insensitive.
  • You can use the -d option to suppress the output of the INSERT statements for multiple tables by specifying the table names as comma-separated values.
  • You can use the -d option with other options to further customize the output of the mysqldump command.
