Creating a dump file
Hi there
I'm very new to MYSQL so please forgive my ignorance!
I've created a database with a single table in MYSQL which is fine.
I'd like to create a dump file so that I can upload it to a web host's database but I can't seem to get the syntax right.
I've tried this:
mysqldump -h localhost -u root -ppassword databasename > dump.sql
and I've tried this:
mysqldump databasename > pathtodumpfile
I end up with the -> appearing. If I add ; then the syntax fails.
Could someone let me know where I'm going wrong.
Thanks in advance.
