I have command in the script: mysqldump databasename -u username -p password > /to/a/directory/dump.sql
When i run the script it asks for a password and takes the password given in the script for a table name. How can I give the password in the script??? Try it like this: ------------------ mysqldump databasename --password=PASSWORD the password needs to be the mysql root password -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
