Nuke mysql conditional comment markers in vim
Raw
nuke-mysql-conditional-comments
Two vim editor commands to nuke mysql conditional comment markers in
MySQL dumps, but not the statement within them:
: %s/\/\*!\d\+\s//g
: %s/\*\///g
Or you can use sed:
sed -i 's/\/\*!\d\+\s//g' dump.sql
sed -i 's/\*\///g' dump.sql

This will turn

/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;

into

SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client ;
SET character_set_client = utf8 ;

(Conditional comments invariably break my database dumps, even with the same mysql version.)
