Hi,

I have recently started using MySql and now am completely lost when trying to create a dump of my mysql db. The db is installed locally on a windows laptop.

I am aware of the commands %>mysqldump -u root -p --opt [database name] but I am not able to execute it. I might be missing the obvious here.

1. I open command line manager, which prompts the root password.
2. Once I enter the password, I am straight into msql>
3. I am not able to exit the 'mysql>' to 'get back into the shell'. Above command entered: mysql> mysqldump -u -root -p --opt [database]; gives me the following:
->

I am lost. It seems I can only log straight into the database, but am not able to get into the shell (shell> )....

Thanks for your help

Matthias
