:) mysqldump is not an SQL command, it's a program for database backup. So, you should run it from DOS prompt, f.e. if MySQL is located in C:\mysql, it would be: C:\>mysql\bin\mysqldump --no-data database_name > C:\tmp1.sql P> Mysqldump --no-data database XXX > tmp.sql; P> I also tried mysqldump --no-data database > c:\tmp1.sql P> What is the proper syntax? I also get message outfile disabled? As to your question about restoring database you should create database with CREATE DATABASE statement or with mysqladmin and then mysql your_database < C:\tmp1.sql P> Thanks P> Paul -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Victoria Reznichenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
