Hi all,
Just a real quick question about using mysqldump. Should I shutdown mysql before running mysqldump, or can I successfully do a mysqldump of my whole database while mysql is still running/processing records. I have a very big database, and want to go a daily dump backup, but I really dont want to have any downtime to process the backup. Any info would be appreciated.
