I am trying to take a backup of a database. I open up the MariaDB client console on windows 10, enter root password and then enter this:
MariaDB [(none)]> mysqldump database_name > backup.sql;
It returns this error:
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'mysqldump database_name > backup.sql' at line 1
What did I do wrong?
Try using
mysqldump -u root -p database_name > file.sql
before logging to database (new CLI window). You will have to enter root password after this command
You should be able to run this command in any CLI, like CMD.exe or Git Bash - depending on the way you installed things on your machine. I hope this helps

I have cPanel trial version installed on the centOS server which is expired now. So I don't have access to cPanel user and WHM login.
I am tried the following
mysql> mysqldump -u root –ppassword db_name > db_nametext.sql;
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 –ppassword db_name > db_name at line 1
Thank you for time and consideration.
You cannot run mysqldump from mysql shell: mysqldump is not a SQL statement but an executable that must be run from linux shell like mysql command.
I tried below commands,
mysqldump -h 127.0.0.1 -u username -p db_name > dumpfile.sql;
mysqldump -u username -p password db_name > dumpfile.sql;
mysqldump db_name > dumpfile.sql;
It always throw this 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 to use near 'mysqldump ..' at line 1
mysql version: 5.7
You should launch this command from CLI as it's a separate binary executable. According to the message you get you trying to execute it as SQL command and it's totally incorrect.
i am using MAC os and trying to get the mysql database backup with the following command but its giving database error:
mysqldump -u root -proot syslog > syslog.sql
while running this command showing this 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 to use near '-u root -p syslog > syslog.sql' at line 1
You appear to be running mysqldump from within the mysql interpreter. Instead, you need to run it from your shell prompt.

corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'mysql
dump -u root -pmanager -h localhost --all-databases > backup.sql' at line 1
why?
and what should be do?

You are running this command in mysql. You should be running it from the command line instead.
I installed mysql server on my machine running ubuntu then after installation I did the following:
mysql -u root -p to get mysql prompt
2.create database prediction ;
create user adam;
set password for adam = password("12211");
grant all privileges on prediction.* to adam identified by '12211';
use prediction;
-u adam -p prediction
I get 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 to use near '-u khalil -p prediction
Your error message doesn't correspond to your #6 entry (adam v.s. khalil). In any case, you cannot simply enter -u whatever into the mysql command line. Those are command line options, not sql commands/queries. You'd need to EXIT mysql first, then re-enter
$ mysql -u adam -p prediction
at the shell prompt
