Re: mysql dump help!
I did have some luck, y'all after several hours. Originally there wasn't a mysqldump.exe in the bin folder so I redid everything. I went through regular ole ms-dos and was able to run it through fine. I just needed it to get converted to a .sql file so I can upload it to my web server. I discovered my web server only takes .sql files for the database in the PHPadmin thing. So I'm hoping it'll work out. Thank you all for the help. I'd never figured out if everybody didn't provide the steps to get there! :) Lillian --- Gary Josack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Red Hope wrote: > > I'm curious about one thing.

Re: mysql dump help!
I'm curious about one thing. When I go into MySQL folder on the hard drive. I go into the 'bin' folder, should there be an .exe program called mysqldump? or not?

Re: mysql dump help!
I cut and pasted what you typed and just altered the password. It didn't like it all. Same error again. If I put any command in without the ";" at the end then I'll get locked into this "->" thingy unless I clear out. I can't guess why it won't take it.

Re: mysql dump help!
Hey y'all, I use charming Windows XP on here. I've taken database classes but lucky for me we never used *real* MySQL.

Re: mysql dump help!
Well, that went over my head. :) I understand what you're telling me, how to get there, but not how to do it. bleh. When I start up MySQL Command Line Client, I'm always prompted at "mysql>". So I told it to switch from that prompt to "shell>" prompt. It always starts up in "mysql>" prompt. Once I'm in shell, I tried the dump procedure and it kept saying it couldn't connect. So I checked what databases it had, it shows them. I can't even switch to a database because of no connection. I'm not exactly sure why there's no 'connection' at all.

mysql dump help!
Hey y'all, I've been fussing with the MySQL dump procedure to backup my stuff. I'm on MySQL 5.0.41 and I have tried so hard to get it to dump my files into .sql format but my syntax is wrong, wrong, wrong. lol I put below examples what I've been entering to get my databases backed up. I always get an error or I get locked into the "->" thing if I don't use the semicolons. Any help would be awesome!
