Hello Hello
I have troubles with 'BACKUP DATABASE', I thought it was problem of syntax, but have tried even the samples in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/backup-database.html and the command is not recognized $ mysql --version mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 6.0.4-alpha, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using EditLine wrapper mysql> BACKUP DATABASE * TO '/tmp/all.backup'; ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'BACKUP DATABASE * TO '/tmp/all.backup'' at line 1 Have tried 'BACKUP TABLE' but does not work either and documentation tells it has been removed... Any idea of what is going on? I've used and installed from sources MySQL since version 3.xx so it is not an installation problem, tried the './configure --help' to see if there are options related to the 'BACKUP...' command but found nothing, the most related option was one to enable the 'LOAD DATA LOCAL...', or, does --enable-local-infile Enable LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE (default: disabled) require to be activated? I never activate it and 'BACKUP TABLE' used to work fine, so 'BACKUP DATABASE' should too, isn't it? or should I recompile with that option enabled? anyway I've read all the installation and backup documentation and does not mention it is requiered to make BACKUP DATABASE work... Regards
