NAME

gcloud sql instances clone - clones a Cloud SQL instance

SYNOPSIS

gcloud sql instances clone SOURCE DESTINATION [--async] [--bin-log-file-name=BIN_LOG_FILE_NAME] [--bin-log-position=BIN_LOG_POSITION] [GLOBAL-FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
gcloud sql instances clone creates a clone of the Cloud SQL instance. The source and the destination instances must be in the same project. The clone once created will be an independent Cloud SQL instance. The binary log coordinates, if specified, act as the point up to which the source instance is cloned. If not specified, the source instance is cloned up to the most recent binary log coordinates at the time the command is executed.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

    SOURCE
        Cloud SQL instance ID of the source.

    DESTINATION
        Cloud SQL instance ID of the clone.

FLAGS

    --async
        Display information about the operation in progress, without waiting for the operation to complete.

    --bin-log-file-name=BIN_LOG_FILE_NAME
        Represents the name of the binary log file created by the source instance if it has binary logs enabled. If specified, is the point up to which the source instance is cloned. It must be specified along with --bin-log-position to form a valid binary log coordinates. e.g., mysql-bin.000001

    --bin-log-position=BIN_LOG_POSITION
        Represents the position (offset) inside the binary log file created by the source instance if it has binary logs enabled. If specified, is the point up to which the source instance is cloned. It must be specified along with --bin-log-file to form a valid binary log coordinates. e.g., 123 (a numeric value)

GLOBAL FLAGS
Run $ gcloud help for a description of flags available to all commands.

EXAMPLES
To clone a source instance to the most recent binary log coordinates:
    $ gcloud sql instances clone instance-foo instance-bar
or to clone at specific binary log coordinates:
    $ gcloud sql instances clone instance-foo instance-bar \
        --bin-log-file-name mysql-bin.000020 --bin-log-position 170
