I want to dump my database along the table schema and the table data also using the unix command line .
I used .
mysqldump -d -u root -p frontend > frontend.sql
But above command is dumping only schema not the data from the database .
Please help me out how can i dump the database along the data also.
backup: # mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql
This will do,
If your requirement is to dump data alone then go for this,
To export to file (data only)
mysqldump -u [user] -p[pass] --no-create-db --no-create-info mydb > mydb.sql
backup: #
mysqldump -u root -p[password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql
restore:#
mysql -u root -p[password] [database_name] < dumpfilename.sql

You just need to remove -d
from your mysqldump
command
mysqldump offers plenty of options to build a proper backup from your database:
mysqldump [options] db_name [tbl_name ...]
mysqldump [options] --databases db_name ...
mysqldump [options] --all-databases
Here you can find more detail about how to mysqldump:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html
To restore database from .sql dumpfile
mysql -u [yourusername] -p [password] [nameofthedatabase] <
/pathtoyoursqldumpfile.sql
Use mysqldump to create backup from database.
mysqldump -u [yourusername] -p [password] [nameofthedatabase] >
/pathtoyoursqldumpfile.sql
I think the command you would need will be mysqldump. Try the following:
mysqldump -u root -p -h localhost frontend < frontend.sql
