Hi all, I hope this isn't an obvious question, but I'm having a hard time figuring this one out.
I have a cron job set up to run mysqldump regularly to dump my databases out to a flat file, which is then compressed and passed to our backup server by another script. The cron job runs the command: mysqldump -Aac --add-drop-table --all-databases --opt > /tmp/mysqldump This had been working fine for ages. However, now I'm getting an error every time it runs, indicating that there's a problem with the SQL syntax - however, this is the SQL being written out by mysqldump, and nothing on the server has changed which I would expect to cause this - MySQL hasn't been reconfigured or upgraded or anything. The error I'm seeing is: mysqldump: Got error: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '404 READ /*!32311 LOCAL */' at line 1 when using LOCK TABLES Just for info: MySQL v3.23.51 on Slackware Linux 9.0 (on a high-performance dual-Xeon server). Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this to happen?
