OK, a Drupal site I deal with has two copies... a production site and a test site. After new changes are developed, they're put on the test site. Once the test site is deemed to be OK, that entire site and database will be copied over to the production site.
The issue is, while that work is taking place, changes are still happening on the production site, like new user registrations and some form input. What I'm thinking is, we can dump the affected tables and then import them into the test site, which started life as a mirror copy of the production site. If I were to: mysqldump -h db_server -h user -pPASSWORD database table_1 table_2 > /tmp/db.sql On the production side, and then: mysql -h test_db_server -h user -pPASSWORD database < /tmp/db.sql Will that result in what I want? Let's say they both sytart off with three users, and after the production site is copied to test, a fourth user is added on the production site. Will the above commands give me a test site with the same four users, or will they actually do something other than what I want, like duplicate the pre-existing users? Is there any particular special command to merge only the deltas?
