RE: MySQLDump

Hi Melissa,

Could you tell me, what is the meaning of the "- p" switch at the end of
your command?

I am dumping tables larger than 320MB. I have a range of tables up to
613MB and I am able to dump them, only difference I can see is that we
are in Unix you seems to be running Windows.

Best,

Mikhail Berman

I use mysqldump to export data but not with that size. I don't know if
there is a limitation to the size mysqldump can export. You could check
the documentation.


Here's my command.
$mysqldump -u user test > test.sql -p


try mysqldump with no other users connecting to the database. if it
succeeds, probably locking issues.

you could also try mysqldump from the localhost. if it succeeds,
probably network congestion or others.
