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.
