What is the difference between "dump data" and "dummy data" in MySQL? And I want to make sure the purpose of dump data is to back up their data and dummy data is test functions. right?

dump data is date dumped to an external file, for backup purposes. dummy data is mock data, often used to test a database. In production, e.g. you could use a tbale with towns in your country. to test the application, you can use any town names, even town that do not exists. That is dummy data.
