when I run below statement, mysql is complaining having error.
mysqldump --triggers --routines -u root -p mydb > mydb_20120924.dmp;
mysql version: 5.1.34
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near ‘mysqldump –triggers –routines -u root -p mydb > mydb_20120924.dmp’ at line 1
It looks like you are trying to run the mysqldump command from inside the mysql command line interpreter.
Does the prompt for the mysqldump command say ‘mysql> ‘? Then you are running the mysql command line interpreter. It should be used – indeed, it can only be used – for running mysql commands.
mysqldump is a separate command and must be run from the shell.
Quit mysql by typing “exit” – you will see a shell prompt. Then the mysqldump command will work.
