mysql gives me the syntax error with the following line... i dont know what is wrong with this...
mysqldump -u root -p root mydatabase > dumpfile.sql
i am using windows vista...
plz help here..
thnx..
Make sure that you are running this from the normal command line and not within the mysql command line. So like this:
C:\[path to mysqldump app] > mysqldump -u root -p root mydatabase > dumpfile.sql
not
mysql > mysqldump -u root -p root mydatabase > dumpfile.sql
The -p part is the problem. From the manual:
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option
and the password. If you omit the password value following the
--password or -p option on the command line, you are prompted for
one.
Try
mysqldump -u root -proot mydatabase > dumpfile.sql
But in the future, please ask a proper question including any error messages you get (you certainly got one in this case) so people don't have to guess.

mysqldump -u censored -'p32dasdA)k+~Ow9' censored > backup.sql
The above code results in error bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
I assume it's because the password contains certain characters, but I'm not sure how to resolve the issue. Also, where should I check for the backup after it's complete?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Try this: mysqldump -u censored -p censored > backup.sql
Then enter the password when prompted. The syntax error comes from mysql seeing the '-' and looking for a valid option, when it gets to ')' it knows there is a problem and throws the syntax exception.
I think you mean to use -p' instead of -'p, or maybe -p'p. It would also be more secure to not type the password in there but instead use -p with no argument and type the password when prompted.
mysqldump -u user -p password user > mysql.sql
mysqldump -u censored -p 'p32dasdA)k+~Ow9' censored > backup.sql
or
mysqldump -u censored -p '32dasdA)k+~Ow9' censored > backup.sql
try this my friend:
mysqldump -u user -p 'database_name' > file.sql
user = your username mysql
Try the following:
mysqldump dbname -u username -p > backupfilename
Is there SQL command where you can do MySQL dump inside the MySQL console?
I tried mysqldump but it does not work...
I'm trying to output into SQL file.
You cannot run mysqldump within a MySQL console since mysqldump is an external command like the mysql console.
Exit the console and use the mysqldump command as follows:
mysqldump -u username -p -h hostname (or ip address) databasename > sqlfilename
It will ask for password.
More details of mysqldump can be found at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html
use \!:
\! mysqldump -u username -p database > database_dump.sql
MySQL Documentation Reference (see System command)
use:
mysqldump -u username -p database
database: name of database
username: dbuser
Does anybody have an example on how to dump all databases uses mysql dump? And possible all a new file for each DB?
I'm using the follow command:
mysqldump -u root -p pw --all-databases > backup.sql;
It's returning with "You have an error in your SQL sytax";
Thanks!
There is an error in your command, it should be no space after -p,
like
mysqldump -u root -ppw --all-databases > backup.sql;
I not sure how many database you have, usually you can do this :-
mysqldump -u root -ppw db_a > db_a.sql;
mysqldump -u root -ppw db_b > db_b.sql;
...
... for all the databases
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 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.
I want to dump my DB with a click on a button in my C#.Net App.
I thought about using
Process.Start(#"mysqldump", #"-u root -p mydb > dump.sql");
but this command opens a command prompt asking for the MySQL user password.
how can I avoid this?
Instead of this command :
mysql -u root -p mydb > dump.sql
Try using this, passing the password in the command, so mysqldump doesn't ask for it :
mysqldump -u root --password=YOUR_PASSWORD mydb > dump.sql
