Hi guys,
I'm setting up a script to backup the mysql databases on a web server.
For example:
mysqldump -u root [EMAIL PROTECTED] web8_db1
/home/backup/web8_db1.sql
This fails. But I can log in with mysql -u root -p and then type the
password in, and that works.
How do I get mysqldump to deal to deal with the funny characters?
Thanks
Hans
Put single quotes around the password.
