It doesn't matter what the prompt says, it's still mysql you're running here. When people say "the shell prompt" they don't mean "make your prompt say the word shell", they mean "the prompt when you're running the shell". Your "shell" prompt is still the mysql prompt, because it is the mysql program's command line. Make sense? mysqldump is *not* a mysql command (like select, create table, use, etc.) mysqldump is a separate program. In Windows, if I remember correctly, the shell is called cmd.exe, so you need to run cmd.exe and at its prompt (aka the shell prompt) type the mysqldump command you want to try. -- Cos -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
