mysqldump vs. BACKUP TABLE

[Alex Pilson]

Ok, I know some of the differences to both of these, but is there any strong reason to use mysqldump over issuing a SQL to BACKUP tables?

*Note. I will be looping through known tables of a particular database and issuing the BACKUP TABLE command, are there any other implications for issuing this command in succession for about twenty tables?
