Question

I want to create a dump file of a table in the database.
So database –> king,
tablename –> castle
So what I want to do is create a dump file..
and then the next part is to import it in my local host.
database name –> king_local.
Any ideas on how to go about this!!
Thanks

 mysql -u mysql_user -p DATABASE_NAME < backup.sql
