mysql dump error
I'm having some difficulty with mysqldump. I locked my tables and ran the following command:
mysqldump -u user -p password databasename
using my actual password and database name.
When I run this from mysql I get a 1064 error 开发者_JAVA百科that says there is an issue with my syntax. I've also tried running the command from terminal (outside of mysql) and receive a 'command not found' error message. I'm not entirely sure how I should be doing this (the explanations I've found so far have been vague).
Thanks for the help.
The mysqldump is a program, it cannot be executed from the mysql console. Run it from the shell.
Have a look at the syntax reference.
--user=user_name, -u user_name
--password[=password], -p[password]
As you see there is no space between -p and password. So, your command line should be like this:
>shell mysqldump -u <user_name> -p<user_password> ...
or
>shell mysqldump --user=<user_name> --password=<user_password> ...
You are missing the target backup file name:
# [mysql dir]/bin/mysqldump -u username -p password --databases databasename > /tmp/databasename.sql
- MySQL Commands
the correct syntax is
mysqldump -u [username] -p[password] [databasename] > [backupfile.sql]
you should add the > backupfile.sql
the other error is believe your system doesn't recognize the mysqldump
path and you should go directly to bin
folder from mysql
installation.
