Please help with syntax for mysqldump
I am really struggling with a mysqldump. I am trying to create a dump of a complete database called csi_db01 and I am trying to save the dump file to My Documents on the C drive. I am sure I am doing right, but could somebody email me the full syntax to use which comes after the mysql If I can't get the dump file to work, how do I get the database on my local machine up to the remote server. I am using version 4.0.15. Are there any bugs? Thanks Mat -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Something like: prompt% mysqldump -u root -prootpassword csi_db01 :: will dump to standard out; add the path to where you want to save the dump, like: prompt% mysqldump -uroot -p csi_db01 /path/to/dumpfile.sql I'm not sure how a path with spaces -- My Documents -- is going to work, but experiment (or pick another location). :-) HTH! -- Hassan Schroeder - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webtuitive Design === (+1) 408-938-0567 === http://webtuitive.com dream. code. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Please help with syntax for mysqldump
mysqldump is run at the system command-line, not within the mysql client environment. This is most likely to be my problem then. I assumed that what is called the system command line to be the mysql client environment. The tutorial book that I have been going through instructs me to issue this command in the start menus run dialogue box: C:\Windows\Desktop cd C:\mysql\bin and from there I have issued all commands in the black window. Is this not the command line, and if not, what is? Sorry for my ignorance, I am still a beginner.

Is this not the command line, and if not, what is? That is the command line. Open a new Command Prompt in windows (something like Start-Programs-Accessories-Command Prompt) Then type cd c:\mysql assuming that is where you installed MySQL then type : bin\mysqldump -uusername -ppassword dbname csi_db01 c:\csi_db01.sql This will create a file called csi_db01.sql in the base of your C: drive that contains all the SQL needed to recreate your table. Note that the c:\mysql isn't strictly needed - and it would work just as well to type c:\mysq\bin\mysqldump in any folder in your system. I'm sure this functionality definately works, so if you can't make it work then post back to the list and someone will realise what mistake you're making.
