I want to export the whole database using workbench. I keep getting the following error message. I used server>data export option in workbench.
This is a known bug in MySQL Workbench 6.3.5. Your options are to either (A) wait for an upcoming Workbench version to fix it, or (B) change your mysqldump binary (under User Preferences) to a different non-bundled mysqldump binary, likely one from MySQL Server 5.6.
You can easily dump the whole database from the command line:
mysqldump -u <db_username> -p -h <db_host> db_name > database_dump.sql

I recently tried to put my web application and mysql database on the same virtual server. Now I receive a port error. In order to fix the port issue, I want to back up the database and reinstall WAMP. Since I can't get to the phymyadmin, I have to use the mysql command prompt to do a dump.
Would anyone happen to know the EXACT command to put in, if my username is root, I have no password, and the database name is dev? I've tried it multiple ways and I get an error saying that my syntax is wrong.
Thanks in advance.
You can use the following command provided you know the name of the database:
mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql
Alternatively I would install the MySQL Workbench which can connect to your local database instance and provides a GUI to run the export: MySQL Workbench.
Unfortunately if you've uninstalled WAMP then MySQL might not be running anymore, and the above commands will not work because the utilities cannot see the database. If this is the case, try installing WAMP to a new directory and manually copying over the MySQL data files:
How to restore MySQL database from WAMP?
mysqldump -u root -p dev > devBackUp.sql
DOS batch file to export the database with date and time in the filename
FOR /f "tokens=1-8 delims=:./ " %%G IN ("%date%_%time%") DO (
SET dt=%%G%%H%%I_%%J_%%K
)
mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name]> [database_name]_%dt%.sql

Let's say I remote from my workbrench to the database which is on server now for some reason I need to have copy of the database on my another computer as a local database. How can I do that?
Export it to a single file (whatever.sql), then import it by running the script on your local computer.
There's a "Data Export" link on the left side if you connect to the remote server using MySQL Workbench. Click on that and go through the export process. Then connect to your local server, click on "Data Import/Restore", and choose the file you just saved.
First export data from database, then import database or specific table import in local server.
$ mysqldump -u [uname] -p[pass] [dbname] > [backupfile.sql]
To dump all MySQL databases on the system, use the --all-databases shortcut:
$ mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > [backupfile.sql]

In addition to a dump and restore you can try the MySQL Workbench migration module which allows to migrate from MySQL to MySQL (useful for instance to upgrade from a previous version or to copy a schema, as in your case).

I'm using WAMP Server in a local PC.
I'm trying to export a big database using MySQL console but its just not working. I always get a syntax error 1064
The queries I tried:
mysqldump -u USER -p DATABASE > backup.sql;
mysqldump -u USER -pPASSWORD DATABASE > backup.sql;
(of course I'm replacing USER, PASSWORD and DATABASE with real values)
I also tried some more similar queries but I'm getting the same syntax error every time.
Please help!!!!!
You should type this in your command prompt not in MySQL console.
mysqldump is an application not MySQL command.
I want to copy all the tables, fields, and data from my local server mysql to my hosting sites mysql. Is there a way to copy all the data? (It's only 26kb, very small)
In phpMyAdmin, just export a dump (using the export) tab and re-import it on the other server using the sql tab.
Make sure you compare the results, I have had phpMyAdmin screw up the import more than once.
If you have shell access to both servers, a combination of
mysqldump -u username -p databasename > dump.sql
and a
mysql -u username -p databasename < dump.sql
on the target server is the much more fast and reliable alternative in my experience.
Have a look at
Copying MySQL Databases to Another Machine
Copy MySQL database from one server to another remote server
Please follow the following steps:
Create the target database using MySQLAdmin or your preferred method. In this example, db2 is the target database, where the source database db1 will be copied.
Execute the following statement on a command line:
mysqldump -h [server] -u [user] -p[password] db1 | mysql -h [server]
-u [user] -p[password] db2
Note: There is NO space between -p and [password]
I copied this from Copy/duplicate database without using mysqldump.
It works fine. Please ensure that you are not inside mysql while running this command.
If you have the same version of mysql on both systems (or versions with compatible db file sytsem), you may just copy the data files directly. Usually files are kept in /var/lib/mysql/ on unix systems.
I have a MySQL file, db.sql. I have tried to import it using:
mysql -uroot -p[password] db < db.sql
All I get is a listing of mysql commands, or I get a syntax error. The weird thing is I used this file last week and, as far as I know, I'm doing it the same way.
I create the database, then in command line enter the above but it's not working. I've tried being inside mysql and just at command line and nothing seems to be working.
Is there something I should be doing differently in windows or MySQL5? I don't know how the heck I got it to work the first time...
TIA
Try this instead:
mysql -u root -p
(prompts for password)
use db;
source db.sql
I found out it is different to run this command from Windows Command Line (cmd.exe) and Windows PowerShell.
Using CMD.exe the command works okay, but in PowerShell I get this error:
mysql -uroot exampledb < exampledb.sql
The '<' operator is reserved for future use.
Not sure if your example was a typo or not, but for starters you need to have a space in between your flags and their values, roughly like this:
mysql -u root -p [password] db < db.sql
If you are already logged in the try this it will be very useful, but depend upon the MySQL version, it works on MySQL 5.0
For log in if you are not already logged in.
mysql>[your password]
Other wise, use the database to which you want to import the SQLDump file by command.
mysql>use [your database name]
And then give source the database Dump file path as blow command(If not works the copy Dump database file to the bin folder where the MySQL installed for eg. "C:/programfiles/mysql/mqlserver5.0/bin")
mysql> source [dataBasePath+name.sql or dataBaseName.sql]
I've been using PHP script called "BigDump":

This perfectly works
mysql>[your password]

I am using mysql server 5.5
In Windows PowerShell, you can pipe in the contents like so:
Get-Content db.sql | mysql -u root -p [password]
