Hello,
I've successfully backed up my database to JeffsDB.sql using mysqldump with
the -opt option.
When I try to restore it using: mysql -h myhost -u myusername -ppassword
JeffsDB < JeffsDB.sql
I get:
ERROR 1065 at line 21: Query was empty
Now, line 21 of the SQL file contains:
/*!4 AL
The way I do it is to call mysqldump.exe from perl, granted it's not the most elegant
way but it's certainly the fastest (to code). Just do:
---
# name or IP address of dbmachine
my $DB_server = localhost.localdomain.tld
# db login authorised to do db dump
my $DB_User = sa
# location and name
Jeff,
Here is a piece of my backup script. Its been modified from Unix world to
windoze world ( because at this point I
am working in that environment - seeking to return to Unix if anyone has a
gig )
=pod
=head1 Script: mysql_backup.pl
=head2
=over 4
=item 1
This script builds a db dump fil
