How to skip already created table while importing dump file in MySql Is there any way to skip already created tables while importing ? I am trying to import 2GB of database using command prompt but the operation is aborted by mistake. Now if i will do the import again it will drop each table and create it again, That will take very long time. 

I want to skip those tables from import which is already created or can i start it from where it was aborted ? I am using this command 

mysql -u root -p my_database_name &lt; db_dump.sql
--ignore-table=my_db_name.my_table_name my_db_name &gt; dump.sql
