I'd like to request that selected parts of the
user table be included
in the dumps for statisticical purposes, namely the user_id, user_name
and user_options fields.
does mysqldump have support for dumping only certain columns?
And before people get all up in arms about this then
no, this does not
include your email or the hash of your password (those are in
user_email and user_password respectively).
i have no particular opinion, but i suspect some people would object to
preferences being included in dumps.
