Percona CLONE instance plugin

General Questions
1

Hello team, we are using the “clone instance from” command to copy an entire instance from one mysql server to another mysql server. Now, I’m exploring the feasibility of just clone one database (schema) using the same method. Does clone instance command have an option for this?

I’m searching for another method than dumping and restoring the database.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Percona_new,
The CLONE plugin does not support cloning specific tables/databases. If you have just one or two tables, I would suggest you look at transportable tablespaces. But if you have many, the dump/import method is really your only choice. For that, I recommend mydumper
