Victor I need help with mysqldump

[Anon]

i cant find the syntax to perform a mysqldump on a windows machine. All documentation is for Unix. I wish i knew Unix better.

Can you help me?

I have a friend named Victor, does this allow me to reply? 🙂

Although perhaps not what you are wanting, using phpmyadmin will allow you to do this nicely. See phpwizard.net for details.

Syntax for Windows is same as for Unix, except perhaps for location of executable.

For example:
c:\mysql\mysqldump -u username -ppassword databasename >dumped_database.sql

Note: no space between -p and password, or just use -p alone to be prompted for password. The greater-than sign redirects the output to a file.
