[sachindesarda]

When want to take a database backup from shell prompt it gives me error for one table.
Still i want to continue the backup for others how should i do that
?
I USE
mysqldump -f --opt database > backup-file.sql
but it won't works
Is there any thing diffrent?

You can specify tables you want to backup but not the other way around.

You should use -r name or --result-file=name instead of redirecting output.

Try repairing the table before dumping.
