Update split-mysql-dump.rb
Catch errors thrown from Dir.mkdir.
The script died for me because directories already existed. This helped.
I haven't investigated why I had several "Current Database" for the same database, so maybe the problem would better be solved in another way.
Failing there has merit - to prevent accidentally overwriting a previous backup.
Do you feel that's a concern? Should it rather show a friendly error in that case?
The error message was informative enough for me.
Maybe it would be a better solution to add a command line switch for allowing the script to overwrite existing files.
yeah - so I am reluctant to merge this PR as it, because this will silently fail and overwrite data without warning.
do you have time to add such a flag?
I'm not used to do programming in ruby, so I think that you would do it quicker and better. But if you don't have time, maybe I could try to do it.
