The 'for' line can probably be adapted to do what you want; it writes the names of all of the databases to the variable ONE_DBNAME: USERID="foo"; #The userid to use for creating the backup PASSWORD="bar"; #The password to use for creating the backup #For each database currently in MySQL, take a database-level backup. for ONE_DBNAME in `echo show databases | mysql -s -u $USERID -p$PASSWORD` do echo echo "Backing up database" $ONE_DBNAME; # do whatever you want to do done Rhino -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
