Re: mysqldump

[eric smith]

Thank You. I have run mysqldump in verbose mode and it has a long list of -

--Connecting to localhost....
--Sending SELECT query.....
--Retrieving rows....
--Retrieving table structure for table xxxxx...
etc

but at the bottom of the list it shows
--Sending SELECT query....
--Retrieving rows......
--Disconnecting from localhost
followed by /path_to_backup_directory

I have also tried running the command with the 2>mysqldump.txt option and looking in the file which has exactly the same output as the -v result shown above.
I know the ultimate test would be to import the dump file and check if the database is ok but I find it confusing that several examples show
Dump Completed - date
But I don't see this message.
