Hi: I have the following python code: import os os.system("mysqldump -u root -pPASSWORD --opt spreadsheets > dump.sql")
First, test this at the system command line -- you'll likely get an empty file there as well, so calling from within python simply does the same.
Then read the mysqldump docs for the command arguments and supply the database name...

This nicely creates the file...but the file is empty! The database exists and has lots of data, I double-checked it. If there is nothing wrong with my code, is there some way to do the same thing from within MySQL? Can I at least print everything to screen and copy it? Where would I find my database in Windoze? TIA, Victor
