mysqldump: Got error: 1356 mysqldump的重要参数--force

一个mysql的备份突然变小了很多，但实际的数据量却一直在增长。备份脚本也没有调整过。为什么呢？

重现了一下备份过程，发现备份中遇到了如下错误：
mysqldump: Got error: 1356: View 'wordpress.v_t1' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them when using LOCK TABLES

原因: 视图引用的表不存在。

原理：mysqldump在备份时要对表加读锁，加锁失败的时候。备份就终止了。

解决方法：在备份时加上--force参数

模拟测试如下：

正常情况：

1.创建表t1并插入数据
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
      `a` int(11) NOT NULL,
      `b` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
      `c` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
      PRIMARY KEY (`a`),
      UNIQUE KEY `b` (`b`)
    ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
   
   
insert into t1 values(1,3,5);   

2.基于表t1创建视图
create view v_t1 as select * from t1;

3.模拟备份，可以正常备份出数据
mysqldump -ubkpuser -ps3cret   wordpress>wordpress.sql

模拟视图引用的表被删除：

1.删除表t1
mysql> drop table t1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected

mysql> select * from v_t1;
1356 - View 'wordpress.v_t1' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them

2. 模拟备份，失败
$mysqldump -ubkpuser -ps3cret   wordpress  >wordpress1.sql

mysqldump: Got error: 1356: View 'wordpress.v_t1' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them when using LOCK TABLES

3. 增加force参数后，虽然有错误，但不影响备份
$mysqldump -ubkpuser -ps3cret  --force  wordpress  >wordpress1.sql
Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
