I recommend creating a seperate database and importing all records into that temp database. Rung a few sql statements ( DELETE FROM blah WHERE company_id <> 20 ) to end up with just what you want. Then take a dump of that database with the -t switch (do not include CREATE TABLE statements) and import that into your real database. Hoping you will only have to do this kind of thing one or two times during your lifetime, there should be no need to look for software that does this. Having said that, an application that can read the SQL statements and represent them in a format that you can work with (select/delete portions etc) shouldn't be too hard to code for people who can actually code that kind of stuff (not me).
