mysqldump


mysqldump outputs the table structure and data in series of SQL commands stored in a text file.

The simplified syntax is

c:mysqlbinmysqldump -u <username> -p <database> [<table>> file.sql

To back up a 'myDatabase' database:

c:mysqlbinmysqldump -u root -p myDatabase > myDatabase.sql

We could also have chosen to output just one table from the database, for example the employee table:

c:mysqlbinmysqldump -u root -p myDatabase employee > employee.sql

We could even dump all the databases out (providing we have the permissions).

c:mysqlbinmysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > alldb.sql
