I am looking for a library that will allow me to read a mysql dump.

I don't want to have to create a MySQL database and import the library and use the MySQL API. I would prefer simply a library开发者_开发知识库 that can parse the mysql dump format.

I prefer a python library, but other scripting languages are okay.

Import into MySQL and dump using --xml seems to be the best option.

I wrote up the reasoning in this blog post: Use flag –xml when you run mysqldump

I came across sqldump.py while looking for something similar - might be of use...
