I'm a new mysql user running on OS X. I have set up a test database and am trying to use mysqldump to create a backup. However here is what happens:
[h24-85-217-157:/usr/local/bin] garydr% mysqldump -h localhost -u root bpw_db>bpw_db_backup.sql bpw_db_backup.sql: Permission denied. I have no idea what's going on. I understand that this command should create an sql file with my database structure and data in it. Sounds good. However, I can't run the command. I read in a manual I could get help as follows: [h24-85-217-157:/usr/local/bin] garydr% mysqldump --help mysqldump: Command not found. But as you can see, it doesn't work. Can anyone help me, or direct me to a good source of information related to running mysql on OS X? For example, I can't figure out where in my system the mysql database files are located. If I could, at least I could just make backup copies to CD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
