That worked! It's there! Now...how can I rebuild *just* that database (which was removed from my MySQL server) without affecting the other databases? TIA, Ted

Something like: cat DUMPFILE | grep Database: | grep Host: A dump file I have laying about has a line like this: -- Host: localhost Database: outsell_web_prod and the command above finds that line. Getting a little fancier with grep could filter the excess out of the line.
