how to get DB backup script from Remote Server in MySQL using command-line utility?
command-line, database, database-scripts, mysql
Solution
The syntax for the password is wrong. You need to write the password immediately after the `-p`, without a space. That's why the password is interpreted as the database name.
Write this instead:
C:\>mysqldump -h <server ip> -u <user-id> -p<password> <db name> >
E:\dumpfilename.sql
Notice how there is no space after `-p`. An example would be `-phunter2`, where the password is "hunter2".
Problem
Can anybody tell me that how to get DB backup script from Remote Server in MySQL using command-line utility? I'm using a command as follows, but not working: ``` C:\>mysqldump -h <server ip> -u <user-id> -p <password> <db name> > E:\dumpfilename.sql ```
