I am using wampserver 64 bit. I started the MySQL console via the wamp tray menu icon and executed this command as seen in the documentation.
mysqldump magento_live > dump.sql;
Result:
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'mysqldump magento_live > dump.sql' at line 1
I also tried it like in this answer:
mysqldump -u root -p root -h localhost magento_live > magentoLiveDump.sql;
Result:
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'mysqldump -u root -p root -h localhost

I am using MySQL 5.7
I tried it via CMD by using this command:
C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.21\bin>C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.21\bin\mysql.exe mysqldump magento_live > test.sql
A file is created, but this is the content:

The command mysqldump will not run from MySQL CLI, you will have to run it from the windows command prompt (CMD) or from the Powershell.
You have to start a CMD or Powershell and navigate to the bin folder inside the MySQL directory (wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.21\bin).
Then you have to execute the command like this:
mysqldump -u[USERNAME] -p target_database > target_dump_name.sql
Important: There is no space allowed between the option and the value.
WRONG: mysqldump -u root -p target_database > target_dump_name.sql
CORRECT: mysqldump -uroot -p target_database > target_dump_name.sql
Example
CMD:
mysqldump -uroot -p magento_live > magento_live_dump.sql
Powershell:
.\mysqldump -uroot -p magento_live > magento_live_dump.sql
Note: In Powershell you will have to add .\ before the command.

I want to make a backup of a db in mariaDB, I've used the following statements but any work.
mysqldump -u root -p -databases messages > dbdescargada.sql
mysqldump -u root -p messages > dbdescargada.sql
mysqldump -u root messages > clients.sql
mysqldump --user='root' --add-locks messages messages > copia.sql
mysqldump --user='root' --add-locks messages messages > copia.sql
But all showed the same error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'statement' at line 1
I really need to do this backup cause I need to make important changes to the tables structures,
I'm using Xampp for Linux, Ubuntu 20.04
I know I can do it from localhost/phpmyadmin but I need also a code option
You have 2 problems:
1) You are running it from mysql CLI. mysqldump is a shell command, not a mysql command.
2) Lose the - in -> redirect to file - there is no minus before >
The parameter is --databases
Your images suggests that you run the shell command in the mysqlshell that is wrong, yoz must run it in a normal command window bash msdods...
Please check the parameters
mysqldump -u root -p --databases messages > dbdescargada.sql
I am trying to backup a mysql database using mysqldump command, but the message I get is mysqldump: option '--tables' cannot take an argument.
Here you are:

I have tryed several argument combinations, but I finally discovered that the result is the same if I just try to get the command version or event with no arguments at all:

I have looked for this problem on the web, but I cannot see anyone reporting this precise issue. I am not an expert on mysql but I can say it is a very simple install. Should you need more information, please tell me.
Thanks in advance,

Following #DCoder indications I inspected /etc/mysql/my.cnf which, among others, contained
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
table = true
After removing table = true line from /etc/mysql/my.cnf, mysqldump command works as expected:
root#myhost:~# mysqldump
Usage: mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --databases [OPTIONS] DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases [OPTIONS]
For more options, use mysqldump --help
My conclusion is that table=true option is not suitable for mysqldump command and must be removed from [client] in the options file. [client] section groups option settings applied to all client programs.
Should another command need that option set, it should be placed in another program section, neither in [mysqldump] nor in [client].
Try this
mysqldump --tab = dir_name options db_name tbl_name
--tab writes each dumped file as a tab-delimited text file in the "dir_name" directory.
db_name is the db containing the table to the exported.
tbl_name is the table to be exported.
"options" part may include options such as --host or --user.
e.g.
mysqldump --tab = /tmp office contact
Can anyone please let me know why am I getting this error
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'mysqldump -p --user=root database_name utilities > utilities.sql'
on this mysqldump -p --user=root database_name utilities > utilities.sql;
I tried keeping the database name, table name in backticks. Nothing seems to work.
mysqldump should be run from a normal command prompt/shell instead of the mysql command, not at the mysql prompt inside it.

Does mysqldump utility requires any seperate client ??
I'm using MYSQL5.5 command line client for windows..
I'm writing query
mysqldump -u root -p pwd** my_db > mydb.sql
I'm getting the error
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax t
The problem is that you're running the command in the MySQL command line client. Run it from a shell instead, not inside of the client.
In other words, open a normal shell (cmd.exe if using Windows), and run: (your path to mysqldump.exe will no doubt differ)
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqldump -u root -ppwd** my_db > mydb.sql
Do not open up the MySQL command line client and run that command inside of there. That client is for executing SQL; the mysqldump.exe program is completely separate and runs on its own.
> not <
You're dumping the file mysql.sql INTO mysqldump, not out of it
mysqldump -u root -p pwd** my_db > mydb.sql
when I run below statement, mysql is complaining having error.
mysqldump --triggers --routines -u root -p mydb > mydb_20120924.dmp;
mysql version: 5.1.34
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that

It looks like you are trying to run the mysqldump command from inside the mysql command line interpreter.
Does the prompt for the mysqldump command say 'mysql> '? Then you are running the mysql command line interpreter. It should be used - indeed, it can only be used - for running mysql commands.
mysqldump is a separate command and must be run from the shell.
Quit mysql by typing "exit" - you will see a shell prompt. Then the mysqldump command will work.
If you have a database called "mydb" this should work. You could try using --database specifically:
mysqldump --triggers --routines -u root -p --database mydb >
mydb_20120924.dmp;
