This feature was implemented because of the numerous requests of FromDual rman users who were not happy with the default mysql behavior.

MySQL table Point-in-Time-Recovery from mysqldump backup

oli.sennhauser@fromdual.com (Oli Sennhauser) — Sun, 25 Jan 2015 19:42:21 +0000

Sometimes we face the situation where we have a full MySQL database backup done with mysqldump and then we have to restore and recover just one single table out of our huge mysqldump file.

Which table is hit by an InnoDB page corruption?

oli.sennhauser@fromdual.com (Oli Sennhauser) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:49:38 +0000
