How to dump only certain tables from MySQL?

Question

If my database has 10 tables and I want to dump only 3 tables, is this possible with the mysqldump command?

Answer 1

 Usage: mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables] 

i.e.

 mysqldump -u username -p db_name table1_name table2_name table3_name > dump.sql 

Answer 2

If you are on a local machine, use this command

 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h127.0.0.1 --port = 3306 -u [username] -p [password] --databases [db_name] --tables [tablename] > /to/path/tablename.sql; 

For remote machine use below

 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h [remoteip] --port = 3306 -u [username] -p [password] --databases [db_name] --tables [tablename] > /to/path/tablename.sql;
