I’ve been reading up on how to do mysql dumps / backups.
It sounds like to ensure that you get all data, you really should run with the option –lock-all-tables. What’s not clear to me is if I need to run anything afterwards to unlock?
I’m going to try to run the following command:
mysqldump –lock-all-tables -u root -p DATABASENAME >
nameofdumpfile.sql
Thanks.
Once the dump command completes it drops it’s connection, also implicitly dropping any locks if not done explicitly. So no, there’s nothing separate you need to do.
