       mysqlpump [options] [db_name [tbl_name ...]]

       o   mysqlpump Object Selection

       o   mysqlpump Parallel Processing

       o   mysqlpump Restrictions

       The mysqlpump client utility performs logical backups, producing a set
       of SQL statements that can be executed to reproduce the original
       database object definitions and table data. It dumps one or more MySQL
       databases for backup or transfer to another SQL server.

       mysqlpump features include:

       o   Parallel processing of databases, and of objects within databases,
           to speed up the dump process

       o   Better control over which databases and database objects (tables,
           stored programs, user accounts) to dump

       o   Dumping of user accounts as account-management statements (CREATE
           USER, GRANT) rather than as inserts into the mysql system database

       o   Capability of creating compressed output

       o   Progress indicator (the values are estimates)

       o   For dump file reloading, faster secondary index creation for InnoDB
           tables by adding indexes after rows are inserted

       mysqlpump requires at least the SELECT privilege for dumped tables,
       SHOW VIEW for dumped views, TRIGGER for dumped triggers, and LOCK
       TABLES if the --single-transaction option is not used. The SELECT
       privilege on the mysql system database is required to dump user
       definitions. Certain options might require other privileges as noted in
       the option descriptions.

       To reload a dump file, you must have the privileges required to execute
       the statements that it contains, such as the appropriate CREATE
       privileges for objects created by those statements.

           Note
           A dump made using PowerShell on Windows with output redirection
           creates a file that has UTF-16 encoding:

               mysqlpump [options] > dump.sql

           However, UTF-16 is not permitted as a connection character set (see
           Section 10.4, "Connection Character Sets and Collations"), so the
           dump file does not load correctly. To work around this issue, use
           the --result-file option, which creates the output in ASCII format:

               mysqlpump [options] --result-file=dump.sql
       mysqlpump Invocation Syntax

       By default, mysqlpump dumps all databases (with certain exceptions
       noted in mysqlpump Restrictions). To specify this behavior explicitly,
       use the --all-databases option:

           mysqlpump --all-databases

       To dump a single database, or certain tables within that database, name
       the database on the command line, optionally followed by table names:

           mysqlpump db_name
           mysqlpump db_name tbl_name1 tbl_name2 ...

       To treat all name arguments as database names, use the --databases
       option:

           mysqlpump --databases db_name1 db_name2 ...

       By default, mysqlpump does not dump user account definitions, even if
       you dump the mysql system database that contains the grant tables. To
       dump grant table contents as logical definitions in the form of CREATE
       USER and GRANT statements, use the --users option and suppress all
       database dumping:

           mysqlpump --exclude-databases=% --users

       In the preceding command, % is a wildcard that matches all database
       names for the --exclude-databases option.

       mysqlpump supports several options for including or excluding
       databases, tables, stored programs, and user definitions. See mysqlpump
       Object Selection.

       To reload a dump file, execute the statements that it contains. For
       example, use the mysql client:

           mysqlpump [options] > dump.sql
           mysql < dump.sql

       The following discussion provides additional mysqlpump usage examples.

       To see a list of the options mysqlpump supports, issue the command
       mysqlpump --help.  mysqlpump Option Summary

       mysqlpump supports the following options, which can be specified on the
       command line or in the [mysqlpump] and [client] groups of an option
       file. (Prior to MySQL 5.7.30, mysqlpump read the [mysql_dump] group
       rather than [mysqlpump]. As of 5.7.30, [mysql_dump] is still accepted
       but is deprecated.) For information about option files used by MySQL
       programs, see Section 4.2.2.2, "Using Option Files".  mysqlpump Option
       Descriptions

       o   --help, -?  Display a help message and exit.

       o   --add-drop-database Write a DROP DATABASE statement before each
           CREATE DATABASE statement.

       o   --add-drop-table Write a DROP TABLE statement before each CREATE
           TABLE statement.

       o   --add-drop-user Write a DROP USER statement before each CREATE USER
           statement.

       o   --add-locks Surround each table dump with LOCK TABLES and UNLOCK
           TABLES statements. This results in faster inserts when the dump
           file is reloaded. See Section 8.2.4.1, "Optimizing INSERT
           Statements".

           This option does not work with parallelism because INSERT
           statements from different tables can be interleaved and UNLOCK
           TABLES following the end of the inserts for one table could release
           locks on tables for which inserts remain.

           --add-locks and --single-transaction are mutually exclusive.

       o   --all-databases, -A Dump all databases (with certain exceptions
           noted in mysqlpump Restrictions). This is the default behavior if
           no other is specified explicitly.

           --all-databases and --databases are mutually exclusive.

       o   --bind-address=ip_address On a computer having multiple network
           interfaces, use this option to select which interface to use for
           connecting to the MySQL server.

       o   --character-sets-dir=path The directory where character sets are
           installed. See Section 10.15, "Character Set Configuration".

       o   --complete-insert Write complete INSERT statements that include
           column names.

       o   --compress, -C Compress all information sent between the client and
           the server if possible. See Section 4.2.6, "Connection Compression
           Control".

       o   --compress-output=algorithm By default, mysqlpump does not compress
           output. This option specifies output compression using the
           specified algorithm. Permitted algorithms are LZ4 and ZLIB.

           To uncompress compressed output, you must have an appropriate
           utility. If the system commands lz4 and openssl zlib are not
           available, as of MySQL 5.7.10, MySQL distributions include
           lz4_decompress and zlib_decompress utilities that can be used to
           decompress mysqlpump output that was compressed using the
           --compress-output=LZ4 and --compress-output=ZLIB options. For more
           information, see lz4_decompress(1), and zlib_decompress(1).

           Alternatives include the lz4 and openssl commands, if they are
           installed on your system. For example, lz4 can uncompress LZ4
           output:

               lz4 -d input_file output_file

           ZLIB output can be uncompresed like this:

               openssl zlib -d < input_file > output_file

       o   --databases, -B Normally, mysqlpump treats the first name argument
           on the command line as a database name and any following names as
           table names. With this option, it treats all name arguments as
           database names.  CREATE DATABASE statements are included in the
           output before each new database.

           --all-databases and --databases are mutually exclusive.

       o   --debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options] Write a debugging log.
           A typical debug_options string is d:t:o,file_name. The default is
           d:t:O,/tmp/mysqlpump.trace.

           This option is available only if MySQL was built using WITH_DEBUG.
           MySQL release binaries provided by Oracle are not built using this
           option.

       o   --debug-check Print some debugging information when the program
           exits.

           This option is available only if MySQL was built using WITH_DEBUG.
           MySQL release binaries provided by Oracle are not built using this
           option.

       o   --debug-info, -T Print debugging information and memory and CPU
           usage statistics when the program exits.

           This option is available only if MySQL was built using WITH_DEBUG.
           MySQL release binaries provided by Oracle are not built using this
           option.

       o   --default-auth=plugin A hint about which client-side authentication
           plugin to use. See Section 6.2.13, "Pluggable Authentication".

       o   --default-character-set=charset_name Use charset_name as the
           default character set. See Section 10.15, "Character Set
           Configuration". If no character set is specified, mysqlpump uses
           utf8.

       o   --default-parallelism=N The default number of threads for each
           parallel processing queue. The default is 2.

           The --parallel-schemas option also affects parallelism and can be
           used to override the default number of threads. For more
           information, see mysqlpump Parallel Processing.

           With --default-parallelism=0 and no --parallel-schemas options,
           mysqlpump runs as a single-threaded process and creates no queues.

           With parallelism enabled, it is possible for output from different
           databases to be interleaved.

               Note
               Before MySQL 5.7.11, use of the --single-transaction option is
               mutually exclusive with parallelism. To use
               --single-transaction, disable parallelism by setting
               --default-parallelism to 0 and not using any instances of
               --parallel-schemas:

                   mysqlpump --single-transaction --default-parallelism=0

       o   --defaults-extra-file=file_name Read this option file after the
           global option file but (on Unix) before the user option file. If
           the file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, an error
           occurs. If file_name is not an absolute path name, it is
           interpreted relative to the current directory.

           For additional information about this and other option-file
           options, see Section 4.2.2.3, "Command-Line Options that Affect
           Option-File Handling".

       o   --defaults-file=file_name Use only the given option file. If the
           file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, an error occurs.
           If file_name is not an absolute path name, it is interpreted
           relative to the current directory.

           Exception: Even with --defaults-file, client programs read
           .mylogin.cnf.

           For additional information about this and other option-file
           options, see Section 4.2.2.3, "Command-Line Options that Affect
           Option-File Handling".

       o   --defaults-group-suffix=str Read not only the usual option groups,
           but also groups with the usual names and a suffix of str. For
           example, mysqlpump normally reads the [client] and [mysqlpump]
           groups. If this option is given as --defaults-group-suffix=_other,
           mysqlpump also reads the [client_other] and [mysqlpump_other]
           groups.

           For additional information about this and other option-file
           options, see Section 4.2.2.3, "Command-Line Options that Affect
           Option-File Handling".

       o   --defer-table-indexes In the dump output, defer index creation for
           each table until after its rows have been loaded. This works for
           all storage engines, but for InnoDB applies only for secondary
           indexes.

           This option is enabled by default; use --skip-defer-table-indexes
           to disable it.

       o   --events Include Event Scheduler events for the dumped databases in
           the output. Event dumping requires the EVENT privileges for those
           databases.

           The output generated by using --events contains CREATE EVENT
           statements to create the events. However, these statements do not
           include attributes such as the event creation and modification
           timestamps, so when the events are reloaded, they are created with
           timestamps equal to the reload time.

           If you require events to be created with their original timestamp
           attributes, do not use --events. Instead, dump and reload the
           contents of the mysql.event table directly, using a MySQL account
           that has appropriate privileges for the mysql database.

           This option is enabled by default; use --skip-events to disable it.

       o   --exclude-databases=db_list Do not dump the databases in db_list,
           which is a list of one or more comma-separated database names.
           Multiple instances of this option are additive. For more
           information, see mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --exclude-events=event_list Do not dump the databases in
           event_list, which is a list of one or more comma-separated event
           names. Multiple instances of this option are additive. For more
           information, see mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --exclude-routines=routine_list Do not dump the events in
           routine_list, which is a list of one or more comma-separated
           routine (stored procedure or function) names. Multiple instances of
           this option are additive. For more information, see mysqlpump
           Object Selection.

       o   --exclude-tables=table_list Do not dump the tables in table_list,
           which is a list of one or more comma-separated table names.
           Multiple instances of this option are additive. For more
           information, see mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --exclude-triggers=trigger_list Do not dump the triggers in
           trigger_list, which is a list of one or more comma-separated
           trigger names. Multiple instances of this option are additive. For
           more information, see mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --exclude-users=user_list Do not dump the user accounts in
           user_list, which is a list of one or more comma-separated account
           names. Multiple instances of this option are additive. For more
           information, see mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --extended-insert=N Write INSERT statements using multiple-row
           syntax that includes several VALUES lists. This results in a
           smaller dump file and speeds up inserts when the file is reloaded.

           The option value indicates the number of rows to include in each
           INSERT statement. The default is 250. A value of 1 produces one
           INSERT statement per table row.

       o   --get-server-public-key Request from the server the public key
           required for RSA key pair-based password exchange. This option
           applies to clients that authenticate with the caching_sha2_password
           authentication plugin. For that plugin, the server does not send
           the public key unless requested. This option is ignored for
           accounts that do not authenticate with that plugin. It is also
           ignored if RSA-based password exchange is not used, as is the case
           when the client connects to the server using a secure connection.

           If --server-public-key-path=file_name is given and specifies a
           valid public key file, it takes precedence over
           --get-server-public-key.

           For information about the caching_sha2_password plugin, see
           Section 6.4.1.4, "Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication".

           The --get-server-public-key option was added in MySQL 5.7.23.

       o   --hex-blob Dump binary columns using hexadecimal notation (for
           example, 'abc' becomes 0x616263). The affected data types are
           BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB types, BIT, all spatial data types, and
           other non-binary data types when used with the binary character
           set.

       o   --host=host_name, -h host_name Dump data from the MySQL server on
           the given host.

       o   --include-databases=db_list Dump the databases in db_list, which is
           a list of one or more comma-separated database names. The dump
           includes all objects in the named databases. Multiple instances of
           this option are additive. For more information, see mysqlpump
           Object Selection.

       o   --include-events=event_list Dump the events in event_list, which is
           a list of one or more comma-separated event names. Multiple
           instances of this option are additive. For more information, see
           mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --include-routines=routine_list Dump the routines in routine_list,
           which is a list of one or more comma-separated routine (stored
           procedure or function) names. Multiple instances of this option are
           additive. For more information, see mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --include-tables=table_list Dump the tables in table_list, which is
           a list of one or more comma-separated table names. Multiple
           instances of this option are additive. For more information, see
           mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --include-triggers=trigger_list Dump the triggers in trigger_list,
           which is a list of one or more comma-separated trigger names.
           Multiple instances of this option are additive. For more
           information, see mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --include-users=user_list Dump the user accounts in user_list,
           which is a list of one or more comma-separated user names. Multiple
           instances of this option are additive. For more information, see
           mysqlpump Object Selection.

       o   --insert-ignore Write INSERT IGNORE statements rather than INSERT
           statements.

       o   --log-error-file=file_name Log warnings and errors by appending
           them to the named file. If this option is not given, mysqlpump
           writes warnings and errors to the standard error output.

       o   --login-path=name Read options from the named login path in the
           .mylogin.cnf login path file. A "login path" is an option group
           containing options that specify which MySQL server to connect to
           and which account to authenticate as. To create or modify a login
           path file, use the mysql_config_editor utility. See
           mysql_config_editor(1).

           For additional information about this and other option-file
           options, see Section 4.2.2.3, "Command-Line Options that Affect
           Option-File Handling".

       o   --max-allowed-packet=N The maximum size of the buffer for
           client/server communication. The default is 24MB, the maximum is
           1GB.

       o   --net-buffer-length=N The initial size of the buffer for
           client/server communication. When creating multiple-row INSERT
           statements (as with the --extended-insert option), mysqlpump
           creates rows up to N bytes long. If you use this option to increase
           the value, ensure that the MySQL server net_buffer_length system
           variable has a value at least this large.

       o   --no-create-db Suppress any CREATE DATABASE statements that might
           otherwise be included in the output.

       o   --no-create-info, -t Do not write CREATE TABLE statements that
           create each dumped table.

       o   --no-defaults Do not read any option files. If program startup
           fails due to reading unknown options from an option file,
           --no-defaults can be used to prevent them from being read.

           The exception is that the .mylogin.cnf file is read in all cases,
           if it exists. This permits passwords to be specified in a safer way
           than on the command line even when --no-defaults is used. To create
           .mylogin.cnf, use the mysql_config_editor utility. See
           mysql_config_editor(1).

           For additional information about this and other option-file
           options, see Section 4.2.2.3, "Command-Line Options that Affect
           Option-File Handling".

       o   --parallel-schemas=[N:]db_list Create a queue for processing the
           databases in db_list, which is a list of one or more
           comma-separated database names. If N is given, the queue uses N
           threads. If N is not given, the --default-parallelism option
           determines the number of queue threads.

           Multiple instances of this option create multiple queues.
           mysqlpump also creates a default queue to use for databases not
           named in any --parallel-schemas option, and for dumping user
           definitions if command options select them. For more information,
           see mysqlpump Parallel Processing.

       o   --password[=password], -p[password] The password of the MySQL
           account used for connecting to the server. The password value is
           optional. If not given, mysqlpump prompts for one. If given, there
           must be no space between --password= or -p and the password
           following it. If no password option is specified, the default is to
           send no password.

           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
           insecure. To avoid giving the password on the command line, use an
           option file. See Section 6.1.2.1, "End-User Guidelines for Password
           Security".

           To explicitly specify that there is no password and that mysqlpump
           should not prompt for one, use the --skip-password option.

       o   --plugin-dir=dir_name The directory in which to look for plugins.
           Specify this option if the --default-auth option is used to specify
           an authentication plugin but mysqlpump does not find it. See
           Section 6.2.13, "Pluggable Authentication".

       o   --port=port_num, -P port_num For TCP/IP connections, the port
           number to use.

       o   --print-defaults Print the program name and all options that it
           gets from option files.

           For additional information about this and other option-file
           options, see Section 4.2.2.3, "Command-Line Options that Affect
           Option-File Handling".

       o   --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY} The transport protocol to use
           for connecting to the server. It is useful when the other
           connection parameters normally result in use of a protocol other
           than the one you want. For details on the permissible values, see
           Section 4.2.5, "Connection Transport Protocols".

       o   --replace Write REPLACE statements rather than INSERT statements.

       o   --result-file=file_name Direct output to the named file. The result
           file is created and its previous contents overwritten, even if an
           error occurs while generating the dump.

           This option should be used on Windows to prevent newline \n
           characters from being converted to \r\n carriage return/newline
           sequences.

       o   --routines Include stored routines (procedures and functions) for
           the dumped databases in the output. This option requires the SELECT
           privilege for the mysql.proc table.

           The output generated by using --routines contains CREATE PROCEDURE
           and CREATE FUNCTION statements to create the routines. However,
           these statements do not include attributes such as the routine
           creation and modification timestamps, so when the routines are
           reloaded, they are created with timestamps equal to the reload
           time.

           If you require routines to be created with their original timestamp
           attributes, do not use --routines. Instead, dump and reload the
           contents of the mysql.proc table directly, using a MySQL account
           that has appropriate privileges for the mysql database.

           This option is enabled by default; use --skip-routines to disable
           it.

       o   --secure-auth Do not send passwords to the server in old (pre-4.1)
           format. This prevents connections except for servers that use the
           newer password format.

           This option is deprecated; expect it to be removed in a future
           MySQL release. It is always enabled and attempting to disable it
           (--skip-secure-auth, --secure-auth=0) produces an error.

       o   --server-public-key-path=file_name The path name to a file in PEM
           format containing a client-side copy of the public key required by
           the server for RSA key pair-based password exchange. This option
           applies to clients that authenticate with the sha256_password or
           caching_sha2_password authentication plugin. This option is ignored
           for accounts that do not authenticate with one of those plugins. It
           is also ignored if RSA-based password exchange is not used, as is
           the case when the client connects to the server using a secure
           connection.

           If --server-public-key-path=file_name is given and specifies a
           valid public key file, it takes precedence over
           --get-server-public-key.

           For sha256_password, this option applies only if MySQL was built
           using OpenSSL.

           For information about the sha256_password and caching_sha2_password
           plugins, see Section 6.4.1.5, "SHA-256 Pluggable Authentication",
           and Section 6.4.1.4, "Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication".

           The --server-public-key-path option was added in MySQL 5.7.23.

       o   --set-charset Write SET NAMES default_character_set to the output.

           This option is enabled by default. To disable it and suppress the
           SET NAMES statement, use --skip-set-charset.

       o   --set-gtid-purged=value This option enables control over global
           transaction ID (GTID) information written to the dump file, by
           indicating whether to add a SET @@GLOBAL.gtid_purged statement to
           the output. This option may also cause a statement to be written to
           the output that disables binary logging while the dump file is
           being reloaded.

           The following table shows the permitted option values. The default
           value is AUTO.

           +------+----------------------------+
           |Value | Meaning                    |
           +------+----------------------------+
           |OFF   | Add no SET statement to    |
           |      | the output.                |
           +------+----------------------------+
           |ON    | Add a SET statement to the |
           |      | output. An error occurs if |
           |      |                   GTIDs    |
           |      | are not enabled on the     |
           |      | server.                    |
           +------+----------------------------+
           |AUTO  | Add a SET statement to the |
           |      | output if GTIDs are        |
           |      |                   enabled  |
           |      | on the server.             |
           +------+----------------------------+
           The --set-gtid-purged option has the following effect on binary
           logging when the dump file is reloaded:

           o   --set-gtid-purged=OFF: SET @@SESSION.SQL_LOG_BIN=0; is not
               added to the output.

           o   --set-gtid-purged=ON: SET @@SESSION.SQL_LOG_BIN=0; is added to
               the output.

           o   --set-gtid-purged=AUTO: SET @@SESSION.SQL_LOG_BIN=0; is added
               to the output if GTIDs are enabled on the server you are
               backing up (that is, if AUTO evaluates to ON).

           This option was added in MySQL 5.7.18.

       o   --single-transaction This option sets the transaction isolation
           mode to REPEATABLE READ and sends a START TRANSACTION SQL statement
           to the server before dumping data. It is useful only with
           transactional tables such as InnoDB, because then it dumps the
           consistent state of the database at the time when START TRANSACTION
           was issued without blocking any applications.

           When using this option, you should keep in mind that only InnoDB
           tables are dumped in a consistent state. For example, any MyISAM or
           MEMORY tables dumped while using this option may still change
           state.

           While a --single-transaction dump is in process, to ensure a valid
           dump file (correct table contents and binary log coordinates), no
           other connection should use the following statements: ALTER TABLE,
           CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE. A
           consistent read is not isolated from those statements, so use of
           them on a table to be dumped can cause the SELECT that is performed
           by mysqlpump to retrieve the table contents to obtain incorrect
           contents or fail.

           --add-locks and --single-transaction are mutually exclusive.

               Note
               Before MySQL 5.7.11, use of the --single-transaction option is
               mutually exclusive with parallelism. To use
               --single-transaction, disable parallelism by setting
               --default-parallelism to 0 and not using any instances of
               --parallel-schemas:

                   mysqlpump --single-transaction --default-parallelism=0

       o   --skip-definer Omit DEFINER and SQL SECURITY clauses from the
           CREATE statements for views and stored programs. The dump file,
           when reloaded, creates objects that use the default DEFINER and SQL
           SECURITY values. See Section 23.6, "Stored Object Access Control".

       o   --skip-dump-rows, -d Do not dump table rows.

       o   --socket=path, -S path For connections to localhost, the Unix
           socket file to use, or, on Windows, the name of the named pipe to
           use.

           On Windows, this option applies only if the server was started with
           the named_pipe system variable enabled to support named-pipe
           connections. In addition, the user making the connection must be a
           member of the Windows group specified by the
           named_pipe_full_access_group system variable.

       o   --ssl* Options that begin with --ssl specify whether to connect to
           the server using encryption and indicate where to find SSL keys and
           certificates. See the section called "Command Options for Encrypted
           Connections".

       o   --tls-version=protocol_list The permissible TLS protocols for
           encrypted connections. The value is a list of one or more
           comma-separated protocol names. The protocols that can be named for
           this option depend on the SSL library used to compile MySQL. For
           details, see Section 6.3.2, "Encrypted Connection TLS Protocols and
           Ciphers".

           This option was added in MySQL 5.7.10.

       o   --triggers Include triggers for each dumped table in the output.

           This option is enabled by default; use --skip-triggers to disable
           it.

       o   --tz-utc This option enables TIMESTAMP columns to be dumped and
           reloaded between servers in different time zones.  mysqlpump sets
           its connection time zone to UTC and adds SET TIME_ZONE='+00:00' to
           the dump file. Without this option, TIMESTAMP columns are dumped
           and reloaded in the time zones local to the source and destination
           servers, which can cause the values to change if the servers are in
           different time zones.  --tz-utc also protects against changes due
           to daylight saving time.

           This option is enabled by default; use --skip-tz-utc to disable it.

       o   --user=user_name, -u user_name The user name of the MySQL account
           to use for connecting to the server.

       o   --users Dump user accounts as logical definitions in the form of
           CREATE USER and GRANT statements.

           User definitions are stored in the grant tables in the mysql system
           database. By default, mysqlpump does not include the grant tables
           in mysql database dumps. To dump the contents of the grant tables
           as logical definitions, use the --users option and suppress all
           database dumping:

               mysqlpump --exclude-databases=% --users

       o   --version, -V Display version information and exit.

       o   --watch-progress Periodically display a progress indicator that
           provides information about the completed and total number of
           tables, rows, and other objects.

           This option is enabled by default; use --skip-watch-progress to
           disable it.
       mysqlpump Object Selection

       mysqlpump has a set of inclusion and exclusion options that enable
       filtering of several object types and provide flexible control over
       which objects to dump:

       o   --include-databases and --exclude-databases apply to databases and
           all objects within them.

       o   --include-tables and --exclude-tables apply to tables. These
           options also affect triggers associated with tables unless the
           trigger-specific options are given.

       o   --include-triggers and --exclude-triggers apply to triggers.

       o   --include-routines and --exclude-routines apply to stored
           procedures and functions. If a routine option matches a stored
           procedure name, it also matches a stored function of the same name.

       o   --include-events and --exclude-events apply to Event Scheduler
           events.

       o   --include-users and --exclude-users apply to user accounts.

       Any inclusion or exclusion option may be given multiple times. The
       effect is additive. Order of these options does not matter.

       The value of each inclusion and exclusion option is a list of
       comma-separated names of the appropriate object type. For example:

           --exclude-databases=test,world
           --include-tables=customer,invoice

       Wildcard characters are permitted in the object names:

       o   % matches any sequence of zero or more characters.

       o   _ matches any single character.

       For example, --include-tables=t%,__tmp matches all table names that
       begin with t and all five-character table names that end with tmp.

       For users, a name specified without a host part is interpreted with an
       implied host of %. For example, u1 and u1@% are equivalent. This is the
       same equivalence that applies in MySQL generally (see Section 6.2.4,
       "Specifying Account Names").

       Inclusion and exclusion options interact as follows:

       o   By default, with no inclusion or exclusion options, mysqlpump dumps
           all databases (with certain exceptions noted in mysqlpump
           Restrictions).

       o   If inclusion options are given in the absence of exclusion options,
           only the objects named as included are dumped.

       o   If exclusion options are given in the absence of inclusion options,
           all objects are dumped except those named as excluded.

       o   If inclusion and exclusion options are given, all objects named as
           excluded and not named as included are not dumped. All other
           objects are dumped.

       If multiple databases are being dumped, it is possible to name tables,
       triggers, and routines in a specific database by qualifying the object
       names with the database name. The following command dumps databases db1
       and db2, but excludes tables db1.t1 and db2.t2:

           mysqlpump --include-databases=db1,db2 --exclude-tables=db1.t1,db2.t2

       The following options provide alternative ways to specify which
       databases to dump:

       o   The --all-databases option dumps all databases (with certain
           exceptions noted in mysqlpump Restrictions). It is equivalent to
           specifying no object options at all (the default mysqlpump action
           is to dump everything).

           --include-databases=% is similar to --all-databases, but selects
           all databases for dumping, even those that are exceptions for
           --all-databases.

       o   The --databases option causes mysqlpump to treat all name arguments
           as names of databases to dump. It is equivalent to an
           --include-databases option that names the same databases.
       mysqlpump Parallel Processing

       mysqlpump can use parallelism to achieve concurrent processing. You can
       select concurrency between databases (to dump multiple databases
       simultaneously) and within databases (to dump multiple objects from a
       given database simultaneously).

       By default, mysqlpump sets up one queue with two threads. You can
       create additional queues and control the number of threads assigned to
       each one, including the default queue:

       o   --default-parallelism=N specifies the default number of threads
           used for each queue. In the absence of this option, N is 2.

           The default queue always uses the default number of threads.
           Additional queues use the default number of threads unless you
           specify otherwise.

       o   --parallel-schemas=[N:]db_list sets up a processing queue for
           dumping the databases named in db_list and optionally specifies how
           many threads the queue uses.  db_list is a list of comma-separated
           database names. If the option argument begins with N:, the queue
           uses N threads. Otherwise, the --default-parallelism option
           determines the number of queue threads.

           Multiple instances of the --parallel-schemas option create multiple
           queues.

           Names in the database list are permitted to contain the same % and
           _ wildcard characters supported for filtering options (see
           mysqlpump Object Selection).

       mysqlpump uses the default queue for processing any databases not named
       explicitly with a --parallel-schemas option, and for dumping user
       definitions if command options select them.

       In general, with multiple queues, mysqlpump uses parallelism between
       the sets of databases processed by the queues, to dump multiple
       databases simultaneously. For a queue that uses multiple threads,
       mysqlpump uses parallelism within databases, to dump multiple objects
       from a given database simultaneously. Exceptions can occur; for
       example, mysqlpump may block queues while it obtains from the server
       lists of objects in databases.

       With parallelism enabled, it is possible for output from different
       databases to be interleaved. For example, INSERT statements from
       multiple tables dumped in parallel can be interleaved; the statements
       are not written in any particular order. This does not affect reloading
       because output statements qualify object names with database names or
       are preceded by USE statements as required.

       The granularity for parallelism is a single database object. For
       example, a single table cannot be dumped in parallel using multiple
       threads.

       Examples:

           mysqlpump --parallel-schemas=db1,db2 --parallel-schemas=db3

       mysqlpump sets up a queue to process db1 and db2, another queue to
       process db3, and a default queue to process all other databases. All
       queues use two threads.

           mysqlpump --parallel-schemas=db1,db2 --parallel-schemas=db3
                     --default-parallelism=4

       This is the same as the previous example except that all queues use
       four threads.

           mysqlpump --parallel-schemas=5:db1,db2 --parallel-schemas=3:db3

       The queue for db1 and db2 uses five threads, the queue for db3 uses
       three threads, and the default queue uses the default of two threads.

       As a special case, with --default-parallelism=0 and no
       --parallel-schemas options, mysqlpump runs as a single-threaded process
       and creates no queues.

           Note
           Before MySQL 5.7.11, use of the --single-transaction option is
           mutually exclusive with parallelism. To use --single-transaction,
           disable parallelism by setting --default-parallelism to 0 and not
           using any instances of --parallel-schemas:

               mysqlpump --single-transaction --default-parallelism=0
       mysqlpump Restrictions

       mysqlpump does not dump the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, performance_schema,
       ndbinfo, or sys schema by default. To dump any of these, name them
       explicitly on the command line. You can also name them with the
       --databases or --include-databases option.

       mysqlpump does not dump InnoDB CREATE TABLESPACE statements.

       mysqlpump dumps user accounts in logical form using CREATE USER and
       GRANT statements (for example, when you use the --include-users or
       --users option). For this reason, dumps of the mysql system database do
       not by default include the grant tables that contain user definitions:
       user, db, tables_priv, columns_priv, procs_priv, or proxies_priv. To
       dump any of the grant tables, name the mysql database followed by the
       table names:

           mysqlpump mysql user db ...
