Re: mysqldump and ~/.my.cnf

[Rick James]

Interesting.

Suggest you write a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com saying that --database=db does not work properly.

$ mysqldump  --defaults-file=.my.cnf --print-defaults
mysqldump would have been started with the following arguments:
--host=localhost --user=amr --password=water.flow --database=h2o_amr

Yet, when running it, it complains about --databases (plural):

$ mysqldump --host=localhost --user=amr --password=water.flow --database=h2o_amr
Warning: mysqldump: ignoring option '--databases' due to invalid value 'h2o_amr'
