Merge database only products

Question

last night some products where deleted around 100 items. I have the last backup of the database, is there a way to export only products from old backup and import them?

Every help is appreciated

Answer 1

Incase you want to just restore all the products from the backup db.

The first steps you can follow is you can now create another backup of your damage DB

Now after backup you can truncate all the products and restore all product from the previous db.

Truncate Product tables

# you can set foreign key checks off
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;

# enable the foreign key checks.
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;

Now you have deleted all the products instead of combining the product you can restore all the above table which you have truncated and now you have all products back from the previous backup database.

Importing data into table

mysql -u your_user_name -p database_name table_name < previous_db_file.sql

with this command you can list out all the table name create a command for all table which you have truncate and import it one by one and then after import all table you have restored your all products. you can check that also if required you can run the below command

bin/magento indexer:reindex
