I want to view the contents of a .mysql file created by using mysqldump. Short of reading it back into a database using mysql, is there a way just to view what tables are in it?
Thanks

mysqldump creates text files containing all the SQL statements necessary to recreate and populate the tables concerned. So, you can open the file in a text editor and search for CREATE TABLE statements.
