About:
Dumpling is a data export tool designed for TiDB and MySQL-compatible databases, capable of exporting data to SQL or CSV formats. It provides consistent global snapshots and is optimized for large datasets, offering better performance and flexibility than traditional tools like mysqldump.
Key Features:
  • Supports SQL and CSV export formats
  • Performs consistent global snapshots across clusters
  • Offers parallelism and filtering for high performance
  • Integrated with TiDB ecosystem for backup and migration
Use Cases:
  • Creating logical backups of TiDB or MySQL databases
  • Migrating data between different database versions or systems
  • Exporting subsets of data for analysis or development
Alternatives:
  • mysqldump – Dumpling is generally faster and better suited for distributed databases like TiDB, while mysqldump is a standard MySQL tool with limited scalability.
  • mydumper – Similar in purpose and performance, but Dumpling is specifically designed and optimized for the TiDB ecosystem.
