I have a RHEL 5 system with a fresh new hard drive I just dedicated to the MySQL server. To get things started, I used "mysqldump --host otherhost -A | mysql", even though I noticed the manpage never explicitly recommends trying this (mysqldump into a file is a no-go. We're talking 500G of database). This process fails at random inter...

I'm trying to use mysqldump to dump a schema, and it mostly works but I ran into one curiosity: the -p or --password option seems like it is doing something other than setting the password (as the man page and --help output say it should). Specifically, it looks like it's doing what is indicated here: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/sho...
I'm using mysqldump to replicate a database between accounts on a particular machine. Everything works just great, except when we get to our defined views.

This is making me kind of crazy: I did a mysqldump of a partitioned table on one server, moved the resulting SQL dump to another server, and attempted to run the insert. It fails, but I'm having difficulty figuring out why. Google and the MySQL forums and docs have not been much help. The failing query looks like this (truncated for ...

On a very important Windows server we use a scheduled task set up by the mysqladmin utility to back up our critical data. I'd like to use the simpler mysqldump command, but I want to ensure that the output is the same. Presumably mysqladmin and mysqldump both share a common core dumping component, so for any given setting in mysqladmin ...

I use the mysqldump tool to make copies of my database. The problem is, when I use the --routines parameter to output my stored procedures along with my data, the generated output causes an error when I try to import it.
