I want to backup my database using mysql dump. This is the code I run in Command prompt when the location is mysql bin.
mysqldump -u root -pabc Db -r C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDesktop tttt.sql
abc is the password. and I try to backup to a .sql file in desktop. I use mysql 5.5.
But the following error occured. mysqldump: Couldn't find table: "and"
But there is no table called 'and' in database and I didn't create such a table.But the error say about a 'and' table. How can I back up mysql database without this error.
Try instead:
mysqldump -u root -pabc Db -r "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDesktop tttt.sql"
Your command shell is breaking apart the pathname into multiple arguments. The quotes tell the shell to pass it all as a single argument to the mysqldump program.
I think there is some problem with syntax of command you are running. try something like this :
mysqldump -u root -p dbName > path
ameOfFile.sql
It will automatically ask for your password. You don't need to write it in command.
