I have 10,003 rows in this table, and it’s 1680MB in size, but it keeps getting stuck at
[2022/09/02 10:32:54.290 +08:00] [INFO] [config.go:617] ["detect server version"] [version=5.7.39-log]

Below is my dumpling export statement:

[root@k8s-node23 my_database]# tiup dumpling:v4.0.9 -h 192.168.xxx.xx -P 3306 -u xxx -p xxx -t 8 -r 200000 -F 256MB -T gdelt.news_webpages -o /data/my_database/

# It keeps getting stuck here with no further information

Seeking help from everyone.
When I switched the dumpling version to 6.2.0, I saw an error in the logs: ["select tidb_version() failed, will fallback to 'select version();'"] [error="Error 1046: No database selected"]

Below are the logs for version 6.2.0, which show that it gets stuck after displaying that information.

Use the corresponding version of Dumpling to connect to TiDB. Are you connecting through a proxy?

I am not connecting to TiDB, I am connecting to MySQL. I want to export the data from MySQL and then migrate it to the TiDB database.

Dumpling does not support MySQL, use MySQL’s export or MyDumper.

Okay, bro, my current requirement is to migrate our MySQL data to TiDB. According to the official documentation, the process involves exporting MySQL data using Dumpling and then importing the exported MySQL data into TiDB using Lightning.

Here is the documentation link: https://docs.pingcap.com/zh/tidb/stable/migrate-large-mysql-to-tidb

So, should I use Mydumper to export MySQL data and then use Lightning to import it into TiDB?

Dumpling supports MySQL export. The log report you mentioned above shows that the error in select tidb_version() is a warning; after this error, it will automatically switch to select version(), and it will also automatically get the MySQL version.

Dumpling getting stuck might be due to acquiring locks. You can check the source database.

“Does ‘[error=“Error 1046: No database selected”]’ mean that a database needs to be specified?”
