datafromdump is a class that manipulates table dumps from full MySQL database dumps. The SQL CREATE and INSERT statements for a number of given tables can be extracted and executed immediately or saved to a new database dump file. During the first scan of a dump file, it tries to create a "metadata" file, so the subsequent data extraction jobs will be much faster. CREATE TABLE operators can be executed or included into the resulting SQL file or not, according to passed parameters. A short "statistic page" can be printed after the job.
