Official docs introduce it as the data export tool for TiDB/MySQL, with support for SQL and CSV output, logical full backup or export, and Amazon S3 output. PingCAP's documentation records an important lineage change: PingCAP previously maintained a TiDB-specific fork of mydumper, but starting with TiDB v7.5.0 that Mydumper path is deprecated and most features are replaced by Dumpling. The docs strongly recommend Dumpling instead. ### Adoption history Dumpling adoption follows TiDB adoption. It is installed with TiUP, included in TiDB Toolkit, documented in TiDB Cloud and TiDB self-managed workflows, and paired with TiDB Lightning for imports. Homebrew packaging makes the tool available outside TiUP for macOS and general Unix package users. ### How it is used Users run Dumpling against a live TiDB or MySQL-compatible source to export full data sets, filtered subsets, SQL files, CSV files, metadata, schema files, and cloud-storage outputs. The docs emphasize consistency options, GC safe-point handling for TiDB, table filtering, parallel export, file sizing, compression, and downstream import with TiDB Lightning. ### Why package nerds care Dumpling matters because it is not just another mysqldump clone: it is the TiDB ecosystem's logical export replacement for a TiDB-enhanced mydumper fork. Its packaging captures database-operational assumptions such as TiUP distribution, cloud storage URIs, GC safe-point coordination, and Lightning-compatible output layout. ### Timeline - 2015: The pingcap/tidb repository is created. - 2020: Dumpling docs note Amazon S3 export support starting from TiDB v4.0.8. - TiDB v7.5.0: PingCAP deprecates its Mydumper path and recommends Dumpling instead. - 2026: Homebrew packages Dumpling stable 26.3.4 from the TiDB repository. ### Related projects - Related projects include TiDB, TiUP, TiDB Toolkit, TiDB Lightning, BR, TiCDC, mydumper, MySQL, and external-storage backends such as Amazon S3. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** dumpling - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [automysqlbackup](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/automysqlbackup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, data, database, mysql. - [percona-xtrabackup](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/percona-xtrabackup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, data, database, mysql. - [kitchen-sync](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kitchen-sync/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [lazysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lazysql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [mysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mysql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [percona-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/percona-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [whodb-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/whodb-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [basex](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/basex/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
