One common error is trying to do this inside the mysql console, instead
of the shell prompt, i think thats your problem because at least the
first one is correct.

Hey y'all,
I've been fussing with the MySQL dump procedure to
backup my stuff. I'm on MySQL 5.0.41 and I have tried
so hard to get it to dump my files into .sql format
but my syntax is wrong, wrong, wrong. lol
I put below examples what I've been entering to get my
databases backed up. I always get an error or I get
locked into the "->" thing if I don't use the
semicolons.
Any help would be awesome!
Thank you,
Lillian
