Re: [PHP-DB] backing up database with mysqldump
Don't you have to specify the databases on the command line when using the mysql client to load the data as in the second example? I think you have to have also created them on the backup server. dave > David Orlovich wrote on 10/26/2004: > This is what I do (assuming your user is 'root'): > > /path-to-/mysqldump -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD --opt --all-databases > > backup.sql > > Alternatively you can pipe it into another database like so: > /path-to-/mysqldump -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD --opt --all-databases | > /path-to-/mysql -hIPADDRESS -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD > Cheers, David Orlovich >On 26/10/2004, at 7:53 AM, Perry, Matthew (Fire Marshal's Office) wrote: >> >> >> How do I provide a password? >> >> I have been trying -p password[mypass] mysqldump sampledb > >> ./backup/file.txt >> >> -Matt
Re: [PHP-DB] backing up database with mysqldump
This is what I do (assuming your user is 'root'): /path-to-/mysqldump -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD --opt --all-databases > backup.sql Alternatively you can pipe it into another database like so: /path-to-/mysqldump -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD --opt --all-databases | /path-to-/mysql -hIPADDRESS -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD Cheers, David Orlovich On 26/10/2004, at 7:53 AM, Perry, Matthew (Fire Marshal's Office) wrote: How do I provide a password?

RE: [PHP-DB] backing up database with mysqldump
If you're doing it interactively, you can just give it the -p flag and
it will prompt you.
Otherwise, I think the problem is you're overdoing it - the flag is
either "-p " or "--password=" followed by your password, so "-p mypass"
or "--password=mypass".
Also, I hope you meant you have been trying
mysqldump -p password[mypass] sampledb > ./backup/file.txt
This:
mysqldump -p sampledb > file.txt
Should get you started (and prompt for password), then move on to
mysqldump -p mypass sampledb > file.txt
Which should output it to the cwd, then you just need to get it going to
C:\backup\file.txt - which may, or may not, be as simple as replacing
file.txt with that (long time since windows commandline)

MySQLdump is an executable program.
