Re: mysqldump and ~/.my.cnf

mysqldump has three syntaxes. None allows --database database_name.

Syntax 1 is:

mysqldump [options] databaseName [table1 ...]

Syntax 2 is:

mysqldump [options] -B | --databases [options] dbName1 [dbName2 ...]

Syntax 3 is:

mysqldump [options] -A | --all-databases [options]

To specify one database use syntax 1.

mysqldump does not accept database= in the [mysqldump] section of my.cnf/ini.
