Hi,
My problem is specifically concerning syntax for mysqldump.
I can successfully execute the following SQL commands from within MYSQL:
mysql> USE cDatabase
mysql> SELECT * INTO OUTFILE "/root/cTable-data.dump"
-> FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
-> FROM cTable WHERE myfield='1';
Query OK, 3693 rows affected (0.12 sec)
mysql>
This works fine and creates my dump file where it's supposed to.
(of course, if the file already exists, it will give an error and not run)
my problem is I need a way to do the above from OUTSIDE of mysql
so i have been trying for days to find out what the exact syntax is for using
mysqldump and have not been successful.
mysqldump -T --fields-terminated-by=',' --fields-enclosed-by='"' -u root -p cDatabase
cTable > cTable-data.dump
The error I get is: mysqldump: Can't create/write to file
'--fields-terminated-by=,/main.sql' (Errcode: 2)
Basically, I have to get the data out of our mysql database and into Foxpro on a w32
machine.
The fields must be enclosed in quotation marks " and terminated by a comma , so
they'll be imported correctly.
Please help!!
Jim
