RE: mysqldump question (very basic)
Hi. I'm trying to run a mysqldump. I enter mysqldump -databases in order to backup all the databases. For some reason all I'm getting back is a help on the mysqldump. What am I doing wrong? thanks = It returns help whenever it doesn't understand what you're asking it to do (or if your command is incomplete.) The following line works to backup a remote database to a local PC - Running the same version of MySQL both places, and a user is setup on the MySQL server that allows remote read (IP-restricted in my case, but I have a fixed IP): c:/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h www.mydomain.com -u UserID -pPassword --add-drop-table MyDBName c:/ServerDumps/MyDBName.sql I run a batch job with one of these for every database every day. Hope that gets you started!

Otherwise, check whether your version of MySQL is older than 3.23.12, which is when this option was added. -- Paul DuBois, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
