Mysqldump syntax

[renesis]

Hi all!
I was wondering what I miss out below in mysqldump syntax

mysql> mysqldump -u root -p dbaseName >file.sql;

or

mysql> mysqldump -u root dbaseName >file.sql;

I connect as "root" and tehre is no password.
In both cases I get errors.
Thanks!

What errors?

If you do specify the password in the command then don't put a space after -p and the password.

Right, in case someone is wondering, I figured this out. Mysqldump is standalone and shouldn't be runing inside mysql.
Cheers.
