mysqldump

[jdoty01]

I am trying to do a mysqldump of a database on my local machine for export to a hosted web site. However, I am unable to get the mysqldump.exe to start on my machine. I am running windows2000. I have no problem getting the mysql console when starting mysql.exe from the mysql/bin directory but have no luck with the mysqldump.exe. Any suggestions.

Thanks Jerry

Are you starting the mysqldump from the console or by Windows-Explorer?
mysqldump needs parameters.

You need a DB-Name and for exporting reasons the console:

mysqldump yourdb > export.sql

Makes a Dumpfile for transporting.
